Tim once (0.9-winking-ly) mentioned the possibility of voting with the
"keyboard by grabbing the Python source and making your own release".

I don't wanna do this on my own (and get zapped from a lightning bolt
thrown by the powers that are), but what would be the pros and cons
of an inofficial (maybe 1.8?) alpha-in-between-release?

I think the CVS tree is in a relative stable state, so if this
is going to take another 1 1/2 months, this might be a good time.
