Having been caught by the 2.5 beta deadline with the changes that 
eventually became PEP 361 (and I think were significantly improved by 
the additional attention that was available due to the delay) I 
understand completely.

(And to everyone with features that get bumped to 2.7/3.1 because of 
this... while a number of you no doubt know this already, it really is 
astonishing how soon the next release seems to roll around, even with 
our fairly leisurely release schedules!)

Cheers,
Nick.
