Yes, my plan is to release 2.5.3 and 2.4.6 simultaneously. 2.4.6 will essentially contain everything that is on the branch today, unless somebody comes up with an urgent patch that also needs consideration.

Skip Montanaro and others hackers started to port the multiprocessing module to Python 2.4 and 2.5. http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/

Is it planned to include it in 2.4.6 and/or 2.5.3? I don't know the status of the project, but it looks like it's still in alpha or beta phase (so far to be stable and robust). Or can we at least include the needed patches? Especially th threading + fork issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue874900
