[Python-ideas] An exciting opportunity to update PEP 3156

[Ned Batchelder]

I'm curious why it's important to update the PEP? I would think the docs
should be the official source of truth about the library, and the PEP
should be a record of the decisions that lead to the library.  Trying to
keep both in sync just seems like extra work.  Why not put a notice at
the top of the PEP indicating that it was accurate when it was accepted,
but that changed have happened since then, see the docs for details?

--Ned.
