Despite acknowledging the significant technical work done by contributors, the Council is requiring a Standards Track PEP to be authored and accepted before any new JIT development can land on main. The PEP must address long-term maintenance, compatibility with existing CPython features (free-threading, profilers, debuggers), measurable success metrics, relationship to third-party JIT compilers, and architectural stability. A six-month window is set for the PEP to be submitted and resolved; if no PEP is accepted within that period, the JIT code must be removed from the main branch entirely. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
