* Accepted: header<br>
<br>
When PEP 3147 was accepted, I had a few folks ask that this be recorded in the<br>
PEP by including a link to the BDFL pronouncement email. Â I realized that<br>
there's no formal way to express this in a PEP, and many PEPs in fact don't<br>
record more than the fact that it was accepted. Â I'd like to propose<br>
officially adding an Accepted: header which should include a URL to the email<br>
or other web resource where the PEP is accepted. Â I've come as close as<br>
possible to this (without modifying the supporting scripts or PEP 1) in PEP<br>
3147:<br>
<br>
  <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/" target="_blank">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/</a><br>
<br>
I'd be willing to update things if there are no objections.<br>
<br>
* EOL schedule for older releases.<br>
<br>
We have semi-formal policies for the lifetimes of Python releases, though I'm<br>
not sure this policy is written down in any of the existing informational<br>
PEPs. Â However, we have release schedule PEPs going back to Python 1.6. Â It<br>
seems reasonable to me that we include end-of-life information in those PEPs.<br>
For example, we could state that Python 2.4 is no longer even being maintained<br>
for security, and we could state the projected date that Python 2.6 will go<br>
into security-only maintenance mode.<br>
<br>
I would not mandate that we go back and update all previous PEPs for either of<br>
these ideas. Â We'd adopt them moving forward and allow anyone who's motivated<br>
to backfill information opportunistically.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
