To the contrary, I think this is just a game with semantics -- if we tell people not to use 3.0 because it is still alpha quality then we won't get *actual* feedback until we release 3.1, and we'd still have to do a 3.2 which takes the feedback from serious users into account. IMO we should strive for 3.0 to be the best release we can make it -- on a par with 2.4.0, 2.5.0 and 2.6.0. I want about a year between 3.0a1 (to be released in the first half of this year) and 3.0final. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
