That's an important question! Since the point of releasing by the end of July is to synch with some Mac deadline, the point is missed if Jack's changes don't happen.

[Martin]

I'm not so sure about that. I'd like to urge Jack to seriously reconsider what work necessarily has to be done to avoid a completely unusable release, and do any other work that also should be done only after the release.

I already nagged Jack to stick to serious bugfixes for 2.3 final. Since this is an Apple-driven release schedule, all Python gets out of this is a black eye if there's a gross problem preventing Mac OX Whatever users from using 2.3 final.
