In the PEP process, it isn't my job to criticize competing proposals.
Instead, proponents of competing proposals should write alternative
PEPs, which then get criticized on their own. As the PEP author, I
would
have to collect the objections to the PEP in the PEP, which I did;
I'm not convinced that I would have to also collect all alternative
proposals that people come up with in the PEP (except when they are in
fact amendments that I accept).
Fair enough. I have probably misunderstood the process. I dimly
recalled reading some PEPs which addressed alternate approaches in this
way and I thought it was part of the process.
Anyway, congratulations on getting the PEP accepted, good luck with the
implementation. Thanks for addressing my question.
