Ok, most people prefer this option. Should I modify the PEP to "move" this option has the first/main proposition (move my proposition as an alternative?), or can the PEP be validated in the current state? I would relabel the above as the Minimal Change Alternative or M.A.L. alternative or whatever and possibly move it but in any case note that Guido (and others) accepted that alternative with consideration of more drastic changes deferred to later. And add an explicit reference to the email you quoted.

Yeah, definitely retitle/rewrite/rearrange to be clear what Guido accepted and then state that any future deprecation of components in the codecs module will be dealt with as a new PEP.
