It would be a shame to discourage new ideas just because we are not  
willing to implement them "now".

I hope that any moratorium would not cut discussions of new ideas  
short, would not change the tone of python-ideas, and would not  
discourage writing PEP's for new language features (with the  
understanding that it will be a while before they actually get  
implemented).
