For "several hours" delay? Shame on the complainers! Ubuntu and MacPorts users have to wait days or weeks for installers. Debian stable users, years!<wink> My understanding was that the biggest problem with keeping to a 6-month cycle has always been that it's still a long enough time frame that people will rush to get an 80%-done project into the release just before deadline, causing extra reviewing effort for the senior committers and effort and delays for everyone for bug fixing. One month is probably short enough that people will be willing to submit things at a more appropriate stage in development. Still, it's the review and polishing-up effort that is the bottleneck, it seems to me. Not the installers. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
