     * Unicode support: The Unicode object defined for Python 2.0 must
       be provided, including all methods and codec support.
 
+    * SRE: Fredrik Lundh's new regular expression engine will be used
+      to provide support for both 8-bit strings and Unicode strings.
+      It must pass the regression test used for the pcre-based version

+Mechanism
+
+    The release will be created as a branch from the development tree
+    rooted at CNRI's close of business on 16 May 2000.  Patches
+    required from more recent checkins will be merged in by moving the
+    branch tag on individual files whenever possible in order to
+    reduce mailing list clutter and avoid divergent and incompatible
+    implementations.
+
+    Patches and features will be merged to the extent required to pass
+    regression tests in effect on 16 May 2000.
