You can partly blame me for that. They were talking about WSGI and
Python 3 on #python-dev and I mentioned that Guido had just blessed it
and made mistake of mentioning the word 'final' in the sentence not
knowing anything about what next status would be. Anyway, Raymond
decided to take it on themselves to update even though I said to leave
it to you. There response since is 'IIRC, informational peps go
straight to final upon acceptance.'. So, they seem to think that the
final status is correct.
