-Provisional status of this specification
-========================================
-
-The version representation and comparison scheme described in this PEP is
-currently accepted on a provisional basis [9]_, as described in PEP 411.
-
-This status is based on feedback received on the initial releases of pip 6.0,
-and setuptools 8.0, which revealed some issues in the specification that
-had not been identified prior to acceptance. These issues will be addressed
-within PEP 440 itself, rather than introducing an entirely new PEP to cover
-relatively minor changes to a standard that has only just begun to be adopted.
-
-A future update proposal for PEP 1 will aim to make this Provisional phase
-for the initial release of the reference implementations a formal part of
-the PEP process that can be accurately tracked in the PEP metadata.

 Updating the versioning specification
 =====================================
 
 The versioning specification may be updated with clarifications without
 requiring a new PEP or a change to the metadata version.
 
-Once the Provisional caveat is removed from the specification, any further
-changes to the version comparison semantics will require an updated
-versioning scheme defined in a new PEP.
+Any technical changes that impact the version identification and comparison
+syntax and semantics would require an updated versioning scheme to be
+defined in a new PEP.
