PEP 361 lists bool support as being possible for 2.6 backporting. As of today the trunk build uses nonzero like 2.5 but 3.0 alpha uses bool. Has a decision been made on whether this will make the cut for 2.6?

In a more general vein, is there a cutoff date for producing a list of 3.0 features which will be backported to 2.6?

Backporting decisions have not been made as the feature set of 3.0 is still a moving target. Once we nail down the features (I am going to guess not until b1 at the earliest) then backporting will probably start.
