We've updated PEP453 based on some of the early feedback we've gotten from -dev and Martin.

Major changes: * Removal of the option to fetch pip from PyPI in order not to modify the trust model of the Python installers * Consequently rename the model from getpip to extractpip

One thing I don't like is the name extractpip, maybe installpip would be better?

Naming things is hard.
