That's not necessary. If you look at the PEPs that are even remotely going
to fall under this moratorium are PEPs 3142, 382, 380, 369, 335, and 286.
The newest one, PEP 382, was checked in back in April which is five months
ago. This is not about to cut someone off from getting their suggestion into
Python that was on the verge of acceptance. If anything this is a good time
to do this as the hazy "does this go into 2.7 or not" question has held back
new additions to the language.
