A while ago I proposed to document our deprecation process and the use of PDW/DW in a PEP:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-October/114199.html

There I suggest that we (CPython) stop using PDW but leave it around for other projects to use as they see fit.  I'm not sure CPython should do anything special to distinguish PDW from DW.
