This is like RFC that can be draft, accepted or rejected. RFC's have not needed to change there names. I'd rather not have PEP's change there names either. As you say there is a Status in the PEP that is clear. I see that the RFC docs have more info like "obsoleted by" and "updated by" info. I work with RFC's all the time an appreciate the forward and backward references. So if I'm working on code that refers to an RFC I can check to see if it is still current for example.
