=46rom a procedural, quality-guaranteeing point of view, I think you
shouldn't release anything as "MacPython 2.2a2" which does not come
from the 2.2a2 tag (and, as Guido explains, you should never move a
tag).

There is no such thing as the "Unix release" of Python 2.2a2; there is
the source distribution, and there happens to be a Windows binary
(which I trust came from the tagged source); everything coordinated by
the release manager.

IOW, if your changes missed the release date by a few days, tough luck
- PEP 251 is there precisely for the purpose to align your changes
with the rest of the tree, and to enable you to get a consistent, if
not perfect, code base included in the alpha release. In theory, all
you have to do is to compile this to get a binary distribution,
perhaps with any add-on modules that you also want to distribute.

It seems that nobody else is making much fuss about this, so I'll shut
up now...

Regards,
Martin
