As previously noted, I'm mostly ready to mark it as Accepted (we're
just missing some specific wording around the use of
NotImplementedError to signal anticipated backend failures from
build_sdist and build_wheel that may trigger a fallback option in the
frontend).

The other aspect I'm not clear on is whether or not both PEP authors
are otherwise happy for the current version to be *considered* for
acceptance - that requires an explicit request for pronouncement, and
we haven't had a fresh one of those since the last round of updates :)

Cheers,
Nick.
