There's 2 proposals marked as pending due to ties, one was the setting
the release date, which I commented on earlier (any comments on that
one?), the other is Python. Since Python tied, I suggest we drop it
as a requirement but if we get a stable build in time for inclusion
then include it. Comments? Andreas was going to take a shot at
Python 2.6 but has taken a new job in a new city and will have limited
time and internet for the near term. I tried using the 2.5.2 build I
made with Mercurial, but Mercurial then went on to fail over 80% of
it's tests, so I suspect there's issues with my 2.5.2 build. Anyone
else work on Python 2.5.2 recently?
