Neal and I have been updating PEP361, and I will be keeping an eye on it
when I refactor the p3yk branch into separate py3k-feature-branches (be it
bazaar or mercurial or whatever.) Each conceptual change in py3k will be a
separate branch, so keeping track of what needs to be warned will be easier.
(But the practical consequences of this will be clearer after I give it some
concrete form :)
