Thanks Barry! Indeed, I want everyone to focus on stabilization and release blockers (and the occasional speed-up). Be extra careful with what you submit between now and October, ask for a code review unless you're really sure. Also, remember, NO NEW FEATURES! What should be done about http://bugs.python.org/issue2834? Should it make it into 3.0 or be delayed until 3.1? (code-wise there isn't left to be done, take a decision about a potential "(? a)" modifier and then implement it) Before beta 3, I think if we need minor features (such as re.ASCII) to fix fairly major bugs (re.IGNORECASE not working properly by default in Py3k) then they should probably go in (case by case permission still needed from Barry or Guido though, as with any post-beta1 feature addition). Once we're past beta 3 and heading for rc1 then the bar for approving feature additions to fix bugs will move even higher though.

Right. Once b3 is out the bar will be really high. Once rc1 is out the bar will be raised even for bug fixes! So do this now.
