Why this transition is not described in PEP?

Please reread the whole thread, and the PEP.

PEP 385 is incomplete (see the red Warning at the top), and the original proponent is not going to have enough time to complete it soon. That being the case, Martin suggested that either we find a new proponent or postpone the transition to next year. We're currently in the process of finding a new proponent and supporting cast, and determining what, if anything, we're going to do about the transition over the next few months.

There is no reason at this point to suppose the transition can't be complete by the end of summer. However, as always, the devil is in the details, and one of them may be a showstopper. We'll just have to see about that.
