+Provisional status of this specification
+========================================
+
+The version representation and comparison scheme described in this PEP is
+currently accepted on a provisional basis, as described in PEP 411.
+
+This status is based on feedback received on the initial releases of pip 6.0,
+and setuptools 8.0, which revealed some issues in the specification that
+had not been identified prior to acceptance. These issues will be addressed
+within PEP 440 itself, rather than introducing an entirely new PEP to cover
+relatively minor changes to a standard that has only just begun to be adopted.
+
+A future update proposal for PEP 1 will aim to make this Provisional phase
+for the initial release of the reference implementations a formal part of
+the PEP process that can be accurately tracked in the PEP metadata.
