I still see the current situation better than the previous one, where this
was scattered around PEPs, Wikis and just random web pages. Having it all
in the same repository is not ideal from a taxonomical point of view,
perhaps, but as a single collection of "everything related to the
development *of* Python" it's not too bad since keeping it in a single
place makes it easier to maintain and review; mostly, there's a somewhat
smaller chance that things will be forgotten and rot.

To put it differently, maintaining the devguide is kind-of a chore for devs
as it is; splitting it into multiple topical repositories will just make
the burden higher so we'll end up not maintaining it at all :)
