The PEPs are kinda like the specs that Python is built from, rather
than being end-user documentation; certainly most, if not all, are
unnecessary to most use of Python. There's really no point downloading
a whole pile of rejected PEPs as part of the crucial user-facing docs.

Also, how many people actually depend on the downloadable
documentation, rather than simply reading things online?
