I am concerned about that too. However, @brettcannon indicated on a related thread that there will solicitation of user feedback in the process, and that it remains quite possible that that feedback will indicate a solution that differs from both proposals. That alleviates my worries somewhat.[1]
I do still think it would often be useful, not just for this PEP but for many ideas in the past and future, to get such user feedback at an earlier stage and use it to inform the initial drafting of a PEP, but still, getting it and taking account of it at any stage is valuable. ↩︎
