[Python-3000] [Python-Dev] PEP 361: Python 2.6/3.0 release schedule

[Douglas Mayle]

This is great news.  I was getting ready to submit a patch to fix the  
Unicode handling in simplejson (which I will probably do anyway), but  
I'm interested in making sure whichever lib will hit the standard  
library has a correct implementation.
