While I'm not against it, python-ideas may be a better name, simply because it doesn't have a connotation that any conclusions reached on the list are unlikely to be implemented :-)

Um, that was tongue-in-cheek. My serious proposal was python-4000, but python-ideas sounds better to me because it won't eventually outdate itself.

an alternative would be to move concrete 3.0-related implementation discussions back to python-dev, and keep this list for Python 3.0 PEP work and "year 3000" stuff.

But that's confusing since the 3.0 PEP work is also concrete implementation related (at least in my mind it is supposed to be -- no proposal will be accepted unless it's clear how it can be implemented). And there are plenty of developers on python-dev who prefer to stick to python 2.6 work.
