I had to see PEP 1 to understand what "Active" means but now I see
that it means that this PEP is approved but subject to indefinite
tinkering:

Brilliant, good work everyone! I'm looking forward to this.

So AFAICT the actions are:
1) PyPI allows uploading wheels with manylinux tag.
2) pip updated to recognise these wheels on the appropriate Linux systems.
3) Packagers make and upload wheels

Is there also a policy of informing python-dev once a PEP is approved
here? PEP 1 is ambiguous on that point but something like this really
needs to be known about more widely than this list.
