I have reviewed the latest version of PEP 435 and I see that it is very good. I hereby declare PEP 435 as Accepted. Congratulations go to Barry, Eli and Ethan for pulling it through one of the most thorough reviewing and bikeshedding processes any PEP has seen. Thanks to everyone else for the many review comments. It is a better PEP because of the reviews.

And there was much rejoicing, huzzah! :)

As an added bonus, people trying to understand the details of metaclasses will now have a non-trivial standard library example to investigate (we may want to update the language reference at some point to highlight that).

Cheers, Nick.
