That being said, I can't this bug as a release blocker:  people can
either upgrade to super-current Boost, or stick with 2.6.2 until they can.

Thats the challenge Ubuntu faces:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.38/+bug/457688

We've just announced our Karmic RC, boost 1.40 isn't released, and
python 2.6.3 doesn't work with a released boost :(

If I were running a Linux distro, I'd revert the patch in 2.6.3.

And if I were running a Python release process, I'd revert that patch for python 2.6.4, and reopen the bug that it fixed, so a less-breaky patch can be made.
