Just updated the PEP for it to stay.

The module has already been removed so someone will have to step
forward to resurrect it.  Considering it has not been part of the
default build I really don't see why it should be saved.  But if
someone wants to toss it up on the Cheeseshop I know I won't stop
them.

Only if specific people step forward to handle taking the modules and
putting them up on the Cheeseshop will I bother with adding the
section.
