The first beta is out, so the trunk is unfrozen, and available for checkins.

Now that we're in beta, we shouldn't see any new features or behaviour changing fixes going into the trunk, unless it's been seen and agreed to on python-dev.

Why not create a release branch? That would free up the trunk for new work and reduce the chance of new features creeping in.

I realize this is discussed briefly in PEP 101, but that PEP doesn't give a rational for waiting until the final release to make a release branch. It makes more sense to me to make the branch when features are frozen, which means the beta.
