+1.  It would give me more type to port and test a few of my  
applications to the new version.

FWIW, our commercial app went pretty smoothly, mostly dealing with  
Py_ssize_t conversions and adopting the new PySet C API.  I'm still  
working on Mailman but the most painful thing so far has been the  
conversion of exceptions to new-style classes, and even that wasn't / 
too/ painful.   I've only done limited testing of both, but I'm  
encouraged that the porting effort will be minor (probably no more  
than a day's worth of work for both apps combined).
