BTW, is there ever going to exist the promised summary of the reasons
the PEP was rejected despite a 4:1 vote favoring it?  It was a fine bit
of sophistry for the BDFL (or whoever ran the thing) to split the
supporting votes so that it looked like there was a lack of consensus
on substantial issues rather than the superficial difference of taste
that actually made the discussion so... active.  I've been wondering
ever since how that would be spun in the final apologia.
