The introduction to PEP 0 references PEP 1 as a source for
PEP numbers are assigned by the PEP editors, and once assigned are never changed [1].
But PEP 1 doesn't say anything about PEP numbers never changing.

Once the PEP is ready for the repository, a PEP editor will:
Assign a PEP number (almost always just the next available number, but sometimes it's a special/joke number, like 666 or 3141). (Clarification: For Python 3, numbers in the 3000s were used for Py3k-specific proposals. But now that all new features go into Python 3 only, the process is back to using numbers in the 100s again. Remember that numbers below 100 are meta-PEPs.)
and
The PEP editors are individuals responsible for managing the administrative and editorial aspects of the PEP workflow (e.g. assigning PEP numbers and changing their status). See PEP Editor Responsibilities & Workflow for details.
But I didn't find any reference to that number never changing.
