While the exact release schedule for 2.5.2 is still up in the air, I
expect that it will be within a few weeks. This means that we need to
make sure that anything that should go into 2.5.2 goes in ASAP,
preferably this week. It also means that we should be very careful
what goes in though -- and we should be paying particular attention to
stability on all platforms! Fortunately it looks like quite a few 2.5
buildbots are green: http://python.org/dev/buildbot/2.5/

I propose that anything that ought to go into 2.5.2 (or should be
reviewed for suitability to go into it) should be marked "urgent" in
the tracker, *and* have its version set to (or include) "Python 2.5".

Also, *nothing* should go into the 2.4 branch any more *except*
important security patches. If we're doing a security release, it'll
most likely be a source-only release, and it will differ from 2.4.4
only in that it will have some new security patches defined.

A reminder: 2.5.2 should only get bugfixes, new features.
