Quoting the [comment on the other thread](https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-722-dependency-specification-for-single-file-scripts/29905/212) for completeness:

> Regarding the PEP itself, I will note that (not surprisingly!) it directly clashes with a number of the “rejected alternatives” in PEP 722. I’d really rather not post all of the arguments from that PEP into Discourse, just to re-hash old debates, as that will waste a _lot_ of everyone’s time. Can I therefore ask that you respond in your PEP to all of those points (maybe in a big “Rejected Alternatives” section of your own?) as if I had raised them all here. Even if all you want to say is that you don’t agree with the objections raised in PEP 722, then could you do that explicitly so that it’s clear that your position is that the objections I give are simply a matter of opinion that you disagree with?
