We don't have a great Status for obsolete informational PEPs, so Withdrawn is
about as good as it gets.  I've heard little parrots ask whether the whole PEP
can just be deleted, implying the number could be reused in the future.  I
*really* don't want for that to ever be possible.

Maybe change the status to "This is an Ex-PEP" or "This PEP is pining for the
fiords".

It's also okay to remove much of the content and just leave a placeholder.
The historical record would of course always be available in the vcs.
