One other point - is there a Python 2.6 backwards compatibility restriction on 2to3 at the moment? If there isn't, should there be? I try to keep it compatible with 2.6, since we have to backport changes. With 2.7 just around the corner, it should probably be listed in PEP 291 on that basis.

Done.

Of course, PEP 291 could do with a list of 2.5 and 2.6 specific features first...

I think that section is rather pointless to keep updated, since a good list can be found in the what's new documents. What people really need to do is run the unittests on all supported versions.
