Somebody has to, but nobody has volunteered yet . > so we can do the rc2 and then 2.3 final releases from the head? The release is stretching out, so I didn't intend to release c2 or final from the head. The intent:

See? You go on vacation for a week and everything goes to hell. :)

I don't like that at the end of this process that we're going to be doing 2.3 maint on a branch of a branch of a branch.

IMPORTANT: Do not do 2.4 work on the head!

The remnants of Pylabs just came to concensus <3 wink>. We're going to release 2.3 rc2 and final from the head. Tim is right now merging the r23c1-branch back to the head. If people want to start working on 2.4 now, we can create a short-lived branch for that work until 2.3 final goes out. At that point, we'll create a 23-maint branch from the head and do all the point-releases of 2.3 from that. Then, if necessary, we can merge the 2.4-branch back to the head.

So, if your name isn't 3 letters long and doesn't start with T and end with m, please ignore the r23c1-branch.

Let me know if you have a burning desire to do 2.4 work now and I'll create a branch for it.
