summary:
  Add pip integration timeline to PEP 453

- timeline based on discussion with the 3.4 release team
  and the pip devs
- also clarified the two trust models on offer (i.e. that
  the PEP ensures trusting PyPI remains explicitly opt-in, just
  as it has always been in the past)

+Integration timeline
+--------------------
+
+Allowing ``pip`` to be bundled with CPython as a wheel file requires some
+adjustments to ``pip`` itself, so the proposed time frame for integration
+into CPython if this PEP is accepted is as follows:
+
+* by November 17th (1 week prior to the scheduled date of 3.4.0 beta 1)
+
+  Documentation updated and ``ensurepip`` implemented based on a beta release
+  of ``pip`` 1.5.
+
+* by November 24th (scheduled date of 3.4.0 beta 1)
+
+  All other proposed functional changes for Python 3.4 implemented,
+  including the installer updates to invoke ensurepip.
+
+* by December 29th (1 week prior to the scheduled date of 3.4.0 beta 2)
+
+  ``ensurepip`` updated to the final release of pip 1.5
+
+  PEP 101 updated to cover ensuring the bundled version of ``pip`` is up
+  to date.
+
+(See PEP 429 for the current official scheduled dates of each release. Dates
+listed above are accurate as of October 15th.)
+
+If there is no final release of ``pip`` 1.5 available the week before the
+scheduled Python 3.4 beta 2 release, then implementation of this PEP will
+be deferred to Python 3.5. Note that this scenario is unlikely - the final
+``pip`` 1.5 release could likely be ready for beta 1. However, it makes
+sense to defer the final release until after the ``ensurepip`` bootstrapping
+has seen some testing in a CPython beta release.
