[Web-SIG] PEP 444 != WSGI 2.0

[Ian Bicking]

Until the PEP is approved, it's just a suggestion.  So for it to "really" be
WSGI 2 it will have to go through at least some approval process; which is
kind of ad hoc, but not so ad hoc as just to implicitly happen.  For WSGI 2
to happen, someone has to write something up and propose it.  Alice has
agreed to do that, working from PEP 444 which several other people have
participated in.  Calling it "WSGI 2" instead of "Web 3" was brought up on
this list, and the general consensus seemed to be that it made sense -- some
people felt a little funny about it, but ultimately it seemed to be
something everyone was okay with (with some people like myself feeling
strongly it should be "WSGI 2").

I'm not sure why you are so stressed out about this?  If you think it's
really an issue, perhaps 2 could be replaced with "2alpha" until such time
as it is approved?
