PEP Status
==========

Due to the amount of work required to implement this PEP, it is deferred until
appropriate funding can be secured to implement the PEP.
The community discussed this PEP from 2014 to 2018. Due to the amount
of work required to implement this PEP, discussion was deferred until
after approval for the precursor step in PEP 458. As of mid-2020 PEP
458 is approved and implementation is in progress, and the PEP authors
aim to gain approval so they can secure appropriate funding for
implementation.
