A few other things that I didn't mention about the roadmap: 1. Roger points out that we are thinking about switching out the event loop (i.e. get rid of all gobject/gtk dependencies), which is work I think we will also try to do in 0.9. 2. Although cffi should support python3 and pypy, we will _NOT_ be dropping python 2 support until all major distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo) use python3 as their default python.
