[Pythonmac-SIG] Problems with new features introduced during beta, anyone?

Folks,
I'm pretty far along with MacPython 2.2b1, but suddenly on my doorstep
I find a couple of very nifty modules: CarbonEvents and a hfs+ API
module. And there's mods I got to allow MacPython to use the OSX
bundle format (so you can have an OS9/OSX bundle) that I can't enable
right now. And there might be Alexandre's new preference stuff and/or
my newline stuff.

There are a few things I can do:
1. Forget about these for MacPython 2.2 and leave them for 2.3.
2. Forget about MacPython 2.2b1, incorporate these modules and pick up
   the release trail again at the time of Python 2.2b2.
3. Do MacPython 2.2b1 now, and sneak in the new features for 2.2b2
   (labeled "experimental").

I'm tempted to do 3, but I'd like to hear what you all think,
