Well put! Goal-driven releases, rather than time-driven ones, seem important for both tracks, the stable and the experimental one.

So, does anyone want to set a list of goals for 2.3? Here's my list:

Implement PEP 262, and a simple package manager on top of it.

Finish the block encryption PEP.  Neil S. suggested to me that
adding AES to Python's standard library would be a good idea.
(And maybe deprecate rotor if we do that.)

Add support for the long-awaited Python catalog.

Documentation: complete the distribution and installation manuals

Look over the Demos/ directory and update where required.  (Of
course, I wanted to do that for every previous 2.x release, too, so
don't be too surprised if it doesn't happen.)
