I since added this: """In particular, the moratorium would include Python 3.2 (to be released 18-24 months after 3.1) but (unless explicitly extended) allow Python 3.3 to once again include language changes.""" > Like I say, a definite end point would be much preferred to n > 2. My time machine doesn't work very well in the future. So I can't tell what we'll find necessary 2 years from now. But I would be fine with defining the time limit to be max(time(3.1) + 2 years, time(3.2)). I.e. the moratorium (unless explicitly extended) ends as soon as 3.2 has been released *and* at least 2 years have passed since 3.1. > If possible, I'd also like to hear some of Steven's other points addressed.
