To my knowledge, there has been no decision yet. There was a criterion
in the spirit '''if xml-sig does not manage to update PyXML, we will
change the package name in Python 2'''. Now, I have updated the
current PyXML to operate on top of 2.0b1 (pending synchronization with
Lars' approved patches), and I plan to release PyXML 0.6 within days.
That voids the precondition of above criterion.

The BDFL may still decide to rename the package, on grounds of the
current add-on approach being a hack and the renaming being a
technical more clean solution. I think everybody's opinion on this
matter is clear, as well, so it's a good time to make a decision :-)
