He thought that it was indeed desirable to have a consolidated list of all deprecated stuff, together with a rationale, so that people could easily oppose the rationale. That idea never caught on. It's not really necessary to maintain that consolidated list *in* the PEP; any other place would be fine as well - but it needs to be a single list, and it needs to be maintained. Regards, Martin
