Well, from the number of release blockers it sounds like another 3.0
beta is the right thing. For 2.6 however I believe we're much closer
to the finish line -- there aren't all those bytes/str issues to
clean
up, for example! And apparently the benefit of releasing on schedule
is that we will be included in OSX. That's a much bigger deal for 2.6
than for 3.0 (I doubt that Apple would add two versions anyway).
With the extra time, it would be worthwhile to add dbm.sqlite to 3.0
to compensate for the loss of bsddb so that shelves won't become
useless on Windows builds.
That seems risky to me. First, it's a new feature. Second, it will
be largely untested code. I would much rather see dbm.sqlite released
as a separate package for possible integration into the core for 3.1.
