Stage 2. When Python 3.7 is out, we'll see how people use execution contexts for async code and collect feedback. If we recognize that Python users want execution contexts for generators/asynchronous generators, we'll make a new PEP to add support for them in Python 3.8. That future discussion will be focused on generators specifically, and therefore I expect it to be somewhat more focused.

As long as it's made clear that the interaction between context variables and generators is formally undefined in 3.7, I think that's reasonable - folks that want to ensure the current behaviour indefinitely should keep using thread locals rather than switching over to context variables.

Cheers, Nick.
