There are no security implications in this PEP.

Rejected Ideas
==============

Alternative Options for the Platform Tag
----------------------------------------

* ``pyodide_${YEAR}_${PATCH}`` -- This avoids potential confusion between e.g.,
``314_0`` and Python ``3.14.0``. On the other hand, it makes the link between
ABI and Python minor version ambiguous.

* ``pyodide_${MAJOR}_${MINOR}_${ABI_PATCH}`` -- this would handle a future
two-digit major version, but the ABI patch version would be too easily
confused with a Python patch version e.g., ``3_14_0`` seems to imply Python
``3.14.0`` specifically rather than Python 3.14.x.

* No ABI patch version -- we hope never to need the patch version, but it's
good to be prepared for unforseen problems.
