This seems to match informational RFCs pretty well.  It might be
interesting to see what the IETF says about informational RFCs.

I might word the disclaimer a little less strongly: "Informational
PEPs do not necessarily represent a Python community consensus or
recommendation."  For things like the DB-API, I think there is fairly
broad consensus.  Rather than claiming there isn't, an informational
PEP could just say what its status is.
