I just committed a false positive when checking Python peps because loath was rewritten to loathe and I wasn't aware that loath is a thing. It's the adjective, whereas loathe is a verb.
Per Google ngram, loath is as common as loathe, so it shouldn't be a clear rewrite. It should simply be removed as it's not a clear typo nor is one much more common than the other.
