Now that they're all numbered manually? Not sure. But if you know in
advance you're going to have that kind of thing, there are other ways
to do footnotes:

https://hg.python.org/peps/file/tip/pep-0498.txt
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/

Otherwise, I'd look at scripting the 997-footnote changes. It
shouldn't be too hard to script - will probably take only twice as
long as doing it manually would have...
