by Nick Coughlan, one of Python's major core developers.

A couple of points related to the other threads.

1. There were real social and technical reasons for the non-2.8 pep (404).

2. Python 3 is a work in progress with respect to the new text model. In 
particular wire protocol programming is a known problem area and will 
get attention. But it is only a small part of the total Python universe.
