Sounds reasonable.
Maybe we should have a "Type" other than Standards Track for PEPs that
are documenting implementation designs, rather than requirements for
standardisation?
If/when we ever get to a point where other implementations want to claim
to implement "standard" Python, having an explicit distinction here
would be helpful.
