As we left it, we were going to wait for the 2.3 alpha and beta testers to raise a stink if the new implementation didn't work out for them (you'll recall that the call to the platform strptime() is disabled in 2.3b1, via an unconditional

#undef HAVESTRPTIME in timemodule.c). Nobody has even cut a little gas yet,

I got a single email from someone asking me to change the functionality so that it would raise an exception if part of the input string was not parsed. Otherwise I found one error and dealt with it.

so I'd proceed under the assumption that nobody will, and that the disable HAVESTRTIME code will be physically deleted. If that turns out to be wrong, big deal, you stay up all night fixing it under intense pressure .

OK. If by 2.3b2 no one has said anything I will go ahead and cut out the C code and update the docs.
