My understanding is that the decorator change was checked in for the very reason you state - so that people can actually try it out instead of just talking about it. If that is the case, then having the PEP up to date before an alpha release would certainly be nice but doesn't seem to be a hard requirement. (FWIW, it seems that a lot of the uproar about the syntax change is that it is being interpreted as a permanent change to the language rather than just experimental functionality. I _think_ I read here on python-dev that it was semi-experimental, but if that's the case I'm not sure how well that message got out - e.g. the "What's New in Python 2.4a2" section of NEWS.html doesn't reflect this)
