This isn't really contradictory. "under consideration" means "in progress": it has neither been accepted or rejected. If Phillip doesn't respond here, you may want to ask him directly. My impression is that it is deferred because nobody is pursuing it actively (including Phillip Eby). It's common for a PEP to be in that state for several years, "deferred" then is an indication that readers shouldn't expect a resolution in short term. That said: my personal feeling is that this PEP is way too large, and should be broken into seperate pieces of functionality that can be considered independently. There is a lot of stuff in it that isn't strictly necessary to provide the feature listed in the rationale.
