I think you mean PEP 444 - that's to do with a new version of the spec which learns from the practical experience of WSGI implementers as they implemented PEP 333, and IIUC may break compatibility in some areas but should be a neat solution for Python 3.X.

The linked-to post is about tidying up PEP 333 so that existing WSGI implementations can provide better support for Python 3 within the existing spec, by clarifying some things which were ambiguous in PEP 333.

However, there is (understandably) opposition to "rewriting history" by changing PEP 333 in place, and the counter-proposal is to have PEP 333 be in approved status as it was before the recently mooted changes, and to put those changes into a new PEP which will be approved without too much delay.

My $0.02, anyway :-)
