Hopefully, Python-in-a-tie changes the equilibrium
somewhat. You can point the "pace of change" 
whiners to it (once there's something to point to 
<wink>); conversely, you needn't worry much about 
spinning a non-PyTie release.

Because of the longer release cycle, a PyTie release
*will* involve a lot of language changes. MAL's idea
of a migration guide is great - just make sure it's
presented as an "aid", not a "warning".
