From my POV, it is problematic that the behaviour outlined in PEP 538
(see Abstract section) varies depending on the adoption of another PEP
(PEP 540).

If we want to adopt PEP 538 before pronouncing on PEP 540, then PEP 538
should remove all points conditional on PEP 540 adoption, and PEP 540
should later be changed to adopt those removed points as PEP
540-specific changes.
