Strongly agree. One additional allowed category of changes are build system fixes, e.g. so that 2.7 can still be built on newer versions of operating systems it already supports. >It would be great if we could document this somewhere - the 2.7 branch is >not a usual bugfix-mode branch, I realize, and hence maybe there's some >special treatment it deserves. IMO, Benjamin being the 2.7 RM has ultimate[1] say in the matter. I'm very glad he's conservative in what he allows in the branch. -Barry [1] Well, maybe penultimate, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Mercurial equivalent of a wrastlin' match between him and the BDFL. :) _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
