FWIW I don't think those peps should be rejected simply because I didn't follow either for the 3.4 release schedule. I think they should both have their day in the court of public opinion. (Of course, maybe that day has already passed.)

Martin wanted to mark them rejected a while ago - reaction was decidedly mixed, and the burden of proof to justify the extra workload and complexity certainly wasn't met. I asked him to hold off because I was planning to update 413 to the simple "early alphas" idea, but:

  1. That's up to the RM rather than really needing a PEP
  2. Even if it was a PEP level suggestion, a new PEP would be better for a new idea anyway

At the moment, with the "3.4" used throughout the examples in both PEPs, it's a little confusing w.r.t the actual 3.4 release PEP. I could live with "Deferred" instead of "Rejected", but one or the other should happen.

Cheers, Nick.
