There's at least https://lwn.net/Articles/754779/. Don't remember if other
people wrote up their own summary.

I think everyone is. :)

In the case of this PEP the various members of the SC have been keeping up
with the PEP and its discussions over the year that the PEP has been
around, we discussed the pros and cons that people brought up, thought
through what will be required for us to do the migration if the PEP was
accepted, and in the end decided it was worth the effort.

A PEP is being worked on to try and propose a way to straighten this all
out, but travel, life, etc. has been keeping that one from being finished.
I've added discussing the status of it to our next meeting's agenda.

Obviously YMMV, but I actually find it easier. :)
