@ -27,6 +27,23 @@ This document addresses several limitations of the previous attempt at a
standardized approach to versioning, as described in PEP 345 and PEP 386.
Provisional status of this specification
========================================
The version representation and comparison scheme described in this PEP is
currently accepted on a provisional basis, as described in PEP 411.
This status is based on feedback received on the initial releases of pip 6.0,
and setuptools 8.0, which revealed some issues in the specification that
had not been identified prior to acceptance. These issues will be addressed
within PEP 440 itself, rather than introducing an entirely new PEP to cover
relatively minor changes to a standard that has only just begun to be adopted.
A future update proposal for PEP 1 will aim to make this Provisional phase
for the initial release of the reference implementations a formal part of
the PEP process that can be accurately tracked in the PEP metadata.
