While agreeing that caution is prudent, this specific reason is a poor one:
I didn't read the PEP like "a user", but like a standards geek.  It never
occurred to me that a once-open issue would be resolved *only* in an
addendum without the resolution also being reflected back into the main
text.  So I read the main text carefully, but barely even noticed the
existence of the rest.  On a Bell curve, I expect that way of reading a PEP
is hugging a tail.

If Marc-Andre hasn't complained yet, there's no use at all for it <wink>.
