I don’t think (a) would give us enough time; we really want a few months (and releases) to hash out the API (most notably with the pip and buildout developers) and clean the bdist situation. Likewise (c) would require developer (my) time that is currently in short supply. (b) also requires time and would make development harder, not to mention probable user pain. This leaves (d), after long reflection, as my preferred choice, even though I disliked the idea at first (and I fully expect Tarek to feel the same way).

The question is what will happen after 3.3. There doesn't seem to be a lot of activity around the project, does it?

Regards

Antoine.
