This is now. Please make no checkins to the release22-maint branch unless you're an Appointed Wizard (me, Jack, Tim, Fred) or have been asked to by an Appointed Wizard.

Note that I was just in time checking in the backward compatibility bool(), True and False builtins (returning ints, of course). If Anthony is listening, could I add those to 2.1.3 too? This will ease backporting 2.3 code to 2.1.3 and 2.2.1.

Especially given the -checkins situation.

Sigh. I expect we're behind because SpamAssassin is working extra hours. :-(
