"It" is the PEP that the Steering Committee are asking for. I'm not on the committee and I don't know how to write a JIT to meet the requirements.

What I don't understand is "what is your position?" Is is that writing a PEP is unnecessary because adding a JIT to Python could trivially meet the goals you state?

My position is simple: adding a JIT is a major change to the language, so of course it should undergo a PEP and answer the major questions that the steering committee put forward. If you think those questions are trivial, then that's ok. Just answer them in the PEP.

> And if it has to be approved by someone who responds like this, it clearly wouldn't be fun either.

I really don't see why you'd think I would be representative of the steering committee's opinions or attitudes. Do I share a name with one of the members?
