Martin's point is that the PEP process doesn't have "reference" implementations.  It has sample implementations.  It may be useful to refer to a sample implementation as an example.. Fair enough. But otoh, asking for sample implementations on this type of project can skew the PEP towards a particular implementation or product. Nobody is "asking" for sample implementations. Instead, I'm asking that what Tarek calls a "reference implementation" should be called a "sample implementation" instead. I'm asking for that precisely to avoid a skew towards a particular implementation.

I'll remove it and push it in Distutils documentation, then might just provide a link in the PEP References.
