FWIW, I agree completely with PJE's and glyph's remarks with respect to expectations of stability, especially in a minor release. Not sure what you mean by "minor release". The change isn't proposed for the next bug fix release (2.5.1), but for the next major release (2.6). See PEP 6.

Common parlance for the parts of a version number is: major.minor.micro See: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.python.versions.Version.html#init

Changing this terminology about Python releases to be more consistent with other projects would be a a subtle, but good shift towards a generally better attitude of the expectations of "minor" releases. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
