Whoa. I do not think there is sufficient agreement on this in the discussion.

I agree. I have opposed the fundamental premise of this PEP in the discussion, and it's not been addressed in the discussion or changed at all.

I do not believe the SC should be considering this PEP at this time.

Whoa. I do not think there is sufficient agreement on this in the discussion.

I did my best to record all opinions in the Rejected Ideas. The PEP is already quite long, so I didn't record everything.

Right, there are disagreements, and that's why I'm asking the Steering Council for advice on how to move on on this PEP.

If this PEP is accepted, I plan to attempt to write a backport for Python 3.8-3.12 in my experimental deadparrot project: shared library providing a compatibility layer between old/new C APIs and old/new Python versions.
