I just want to empahisize this point some more.

Python 1.6 has a defined timeline, with a defined set of minimal
requirements. However! I don't believe that a corollary of that says we
MUST ignore everything else. If those other options fit within the
required timeline, then why not? (assuming we have adequate testing and
doc to go with the changes)

There are ample people who have time and inclination to contribute. If
those contributions add positive benefit, then I see no reason to exclude
them (other than on pure merit, of course).

Note that some of the problems stem from CVS access. Much Guido-time could
be saved by a commit-then-review model, rather than review-then-Guido-
commits model. Fred does this very well with the Doc/ area.

Cheers,
