I don't think anyone here is an expert on the details.  The discussion
we're having is probably unusual for most or all people here.

That people like me may spend more time reading the PEPs doesn't
actually make them more competent on the broader topic of governance
systems.  So feel free to judge the PEPs by yourself and don't be afraid
of casting such judgement.  You're as competent as anyone else.  Ideally
we would have started this discussion a lot of time in advance, and
without any deadline looming over us, but the events decided otherwise.

Antoine.
