I'm with the Twisted community on this one in that I see no real "value". async operations and awareness should be (IHMO) really left up to the server/framework, not the application(s) or middleware. > - the web3 name > > If there is any value in this PEP and we find something to decide on, > there is no reason this couldn't be WSGI 2.

I personally still don't see any real benefit to changing the key names from "wsgi" to "web3" (or whatever). I would prefer it remain the same. If you're going to use Python3, you know you're using Python3 (you don't need "web3" key names to know that).
