There was some minor finagling about the wording of the PEP, I think, that I
was still supposed to do. Some explanation of common practices, maybe; the
python-dev archives might have it. I could never get it into the PEP the
right way, the end result was never that big a change (and a bit awkward
with the rest.)

I don't think I've ever heard of that idea. I don't know what 'import
redirection' is either. But maybe it was one of those things that were still
supposed to go into PEP 328.
