Well, denying to modify PEPs during the PEP is the only reliable
solution to prevent PEP authors to modify their PEP :-)

IMHO latest changes (that I saw) in the governance PEPs are "minor",
they don't change fundamentally the governance model.

Two weeks is the duration of the vote. It isn't enough to review PEPs?
Most PEPs have been written one month ago, if not longer.

I guess that many people will not start reading the governance PEPs
until they really have to :-) I'm not sure that postpone the vote
would help.

You're welcome. Yes, I already updated everything :-) Hopefully, other
PEP authors are also keeping this comparison up to date!
