I had already sent it to the python-announce list and also made an
announcement on c.l.py now. :)

+1, I'll push the master into the release branch and update the master
version to 0.18a0.

Regarding 0.18, I won't be able to review any of Mark's changes in his
array expressions branch, but I take it that Dag did, so I assume that they
should go in right next (after a necessary rebase and maybe some
adaptations for the external minivect) and then get consolidated there (if
necessary). Looks like they'll make the first big feature for the next
release (which in turn makes Mark the perfect "volunteer" for the next
release manager ;) ).
