PEP 1: Diagram includes the non-existent "Replaced" state #1127
Comments
I'm not sure about that. IIRC, the original intent of this was something like the RFC 822 -> 2822 -> 5822 evolution. The idea being that further refinement of an already implemented (i.e. Final) PEP would include a Superseded link back to the original PEP. Replaces is a little weird to me. I would change that to Supersedes. |

Yeah, there are two inconsistencies. The "Replaced" state in the diagram is just outright wrong, as there's no such state (it's called "Superseded" in the PEP text). The fact that the fields creating those doubly linked lists of PEPs are "Replaces" and "Superseded-By" is odd, but not wrong per se. |

Are the sources for those files available in the repository? |

The png is exported from the svg at https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0001/process_flow.svg We don't use the svg directly due to #701 |
I'm currently talking with a process management researcher, and asked them why their nominal process flow has a "Replaced" state in it.
Turns out they took it straight from the diagram in PEP 1: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-review-resolution
The "Superseded" box is labeled as "Replaced". That part of the diagram is weird anyway, as it's more likely to be Active PEPs that go to Superseded than Final ones.
