Under the instruction of Martin, I've made some small changes to 2to3
so keeps track of which fixers act on which level of node. The
speedup isn't too shabby: running on the example file, processing
time went from 9 to 7 seconds, and the test suite dropped from 400 to
350.

I think we all can agree that we would like Plone to migrate to 3.x without
too much pain and that their collective situation may be more difficult for
migration than some others.

Let us not get side-tracked in this discussion. Whether or not to
include any portion of Twisted into Python 2.6 is well past being a
reasonable question; 2.6 alpha 1 has been released. It's a question
as to whether someone with commit access can or will commit the patch
as posted, run the tests

As I understood it nobody has claimed 2to3 to be perfect either, but
