+PEP Withdrawal
+==============
+
+This PEP was withdrawn by the author in December 2013, as other significant
+changes in the time since it was written have rendered several aspects
+obsolete. Most notably :pep:`420` namespace packages rendered some of the
+proposals related to package detection unworkable and :pep:`451` module
+specifications resolved the multiprocessing issues and provide a possible
+means to tackle the pickle compatibility issues.
+
+A future PEP to resolve the remaining issues would still be appropriate,
+but it's worth starting any such effort as a fresh PEP restating the
+remaining problems in an updated context rather than trying to build on
+this one directly.
