The kernel is not going to be delayed that much. Linus wants it to go out
this month. Worst case, I could see January. But no way on six months.

But as Fred said: that should not change panels going into the curses
support at all. You can always have a "compat.py" module in CML2 that
provides functionality for prior-to-2.1 releases of Python.

I'd also be up for a separate _curses_panels module, loaded into the curses
package.

Cheers,
