Thanks for flagging this, I was unaware! I agree with your assessment; I just hope that this is considered to not be in breach of the spirit of the PEP. It seems like the PEP intended to disallow squatting in terms of pre-emptively reserving and hogging names, the way domain squatters do it. So hopefully typosquatting prevention for the sake of security is considered fine by the admins; especially since our project was designated a 'critical project' and stricter security measures apply to our maintainers.
