I've always been a big fan of release early, release often. I'd rather get a point release out with all the improvements and bugfixes since the last one than hold out for some additional piece. When that piece is ready, we can release again. Yes, there is some labor overhead -- Charlie are you out there :-) -- but I think more releases rather than fewer are a good thing. So if the wx stuff is ready to go, by all means let's check it in and include it, but if not I don't see that we need to hold for it. I am in favor of getting *all* the GUI dependent extension code out of MPL -- it is a support nightmare. Each of us should take the time to figure out how to get the best performance where possible using python buffer objects in the python layer for each of the main backends rather than rely on extension code. But I don't want to hold up the release cycle with known bugs in the wild unless someone says, "wait I just need a day or two".
