We will not be putting type annotations anywhere in the stdlib or expecting anyone else to maintain them there. That would never happen until tools that are convincing enough in their utility for developers to want to use are available and accepted. That'll be a developer workflow thing we could address with a later PEP. IF it happens at all.

This is the most reassuring statement I've heard so far ;)
