I'm Tim on this issue. As officially appointed release manager for 2.0, I set some guidelines for checking in code. One is that no checkin should cause the regression test to fail. If it does, I'll back it out.

If you didn't review the contribution guidelines when they were posted on this list, please look at PEP 200 now.

Actually, I did. The thing is, it seems to me there's a huge difference between breaking code, and manifesting that the code is wrong.
