Mass PEP status changes

With the help of Neal Norwitz, Jeremy Hylton, Alex Martelli
and Collin
Winter, I've greatly reduced the set of open PEPs numbered
less than
3000. Here's a summary. Please speak up if we've made a
grave error; I
take all responsibility for the final decisions.

Positive Decisions (Marked Accepted or Final)
---------------------------------------------

 SF  237  Unifying Long Integers and Integers         
Zadka, GvR
Marked as Final; there's no work left to be done.

 I   287  reStructuredText Docstring Format           
Goodger
Status changed from Draft to Active.

 SA  302  New Import Hooks                             JvR,
Moore
Marked Accepted. Should this be marked Final, or is there
still an
unimplemented part?

 SF  331  Locale-Independent Float/String Conversions  Reis
Marked Final; this was done years ago (Python 2.3?).

Negative Decisions (Rejected, Withdrawn or Deferred)
----------------------------------------------------

 SW  228  Reworking Python's Numeric Model            
Zadka, GvR
Withdrawn in favor of PEP 3141 (numeric ABCs).

 SR  256  Docstring Processing System Framework       
Goodger
Rejected; seems to have run out of steam.

 SR  258  Docutils Design Specification               
Goodger
Rejected; docutils is no longer slated for stdlib
inclusion.

 SD  267  Optimized Access to Module Namespaces       
Hylton
Deferred; no-one has had time for this.

 SR  268  Extended HTTP functionality and WebDAV      
Stein
Rejected for lack of interest or progress.

 SD  280  Optimizing access to globals                 GvR
Deferred; no-one has had time for this.

 SW  296  Adding a bytes Object Type                  
Gilbert
Was withdrawn long ago in favor of PEP 358 (the bytes
object).

 SR  297  Support for System Upgrades                 
Lemburg
Rejected; failed to generate support.

 SD  323  Copyable Iterators                          
Martelli
Deferred due to lack of interest.

 IR  350  Codetags                                    
Elliott
Rejected for lack of will to standardize. XXX lives!

 SR  354  Enumerations in Python                      
Finney
Rejected; not enough interest, not sufficiently Pythonic.

 SR  355  Path - Object oriented filesystem paths     
Lindqvist
Rejected as being the ultimate kitchen sink.

 SR  754  IEEE 754 Floating Point Special Values      
Warnes
Rejected for lack of progress.

OK, I'll mark it final then. Docs are really not the PEP's
business.

Yes, please.

I have a competing proposal for enumerations which I just
haven't  
gotten around to spec'ing out yet.  Check the the cheeseshop
for the  
'munepy' package if you're interested (mune == enum
backwards, since  
'enum' was already taken).

Guido, can you tell me whether the concept of enums for
Python is  
being rejected, or this specific proposal?  My proposal
would be  
quite different, and I think, more Pythonic.  Should I
bother  
submitting a PEP?

That's really up to the rest of the community. If their
response to
your proposal is going to be as lackluster as to PEP 354,
don't
bother. Perhaps you can test the waters on python-ideas or
c.l.py.

I guess the first step would be to announce the package on 

c.l.py.a .  But
cool, that tells me what I wanted to know.
