sense to add a note after an Open Issue (or any other section) that was
refined, resolved, or whatever in a later PEP or bug or patch or ...*


If that kind of thing comes up, updating the PEP directly is
definitely a reasonable way to clarify things. If people want to see
the *exact* state of the PEP when it was accepted, they're all under
version control. What we actually do depends on the specifics of the
PEP, though (and whether or not anyone feels motivated to clarify
things!).


Okay.

I would like to put links to the updates to the Open Issues in PEP3134 
-- is there an easier way to find those besides typing in 'exception' in 
the bug tracker?  I would like to complete that task in /this/ lifetime.  ;)

[Python-Dev] open issues on accepted PEPs

I was looking at the other Open Issues on PEP 3134, think I might try to 
resolve them as well, and discovered via testing that they have already 
been taken care of.
