+.. withdrawn::
+
+   This PEP has been withdrawn. :pep:`752` defines the interoperability
+   requirements that package repositories need in order to support namespaces;
+   the process for applying for and reviewing namespace grants is an
+   index-specific policy decision rather than an interoperability standard.
+   PyPI's namespace policy will instead be published and maintained as PyPI
+   policy by the PSF, with input from PyPI staff, the community, and, where it
+   affects packaging interoperability, the Packaging Council. This leaves other
+   package repositories free to set policies appropriate to them.
+
+   In particular, PyPI does not prioritize review of applications from paid
+   organizations and will not do so for namespace applications.
