Legally, at this point I don't know the legal status of every bit of
code in python-mode.el. Technically, any 'merge' depends on
how we define the term. For me, the answer is yes, since I'm looking at
this project as sort of an optimization exercise
in both features and algorithms. On the level of code, no, I doubt it's
technically possible to merge the two modes, or not in
a major way.
I was thinking that after a few days of relative calm I would post a
listing of the features
offered by each, just to have something concrete to look at.

As Andreas pointed out, we have not yet merged his changes into python-
mode.el.
I had hoped that it would be possible to merge python-mode.el and
python.el and reduce the confusion and inconvenience of Python X/Emacs
users. Andreas's opinion is that that is technically impossible and I
believe it is Dave's opinion that it will be practically impossible
from a legal perspective.
If Andreas' changes were to remain unmerged, would the merger of
python-mode.el and python.el still be regarded as technically and/or
legally impossible?
I will defer to Andreas and Bev since they've looked at this issue
most closely.
