Ok, after a bit of an unfortunate break I'm back into the backporting. My current plan is to have a release candidate for 2.1.2 due a couple of days before Christmas, and then try to get it tested as much as possible before a release either in the week between christmas/new year (not optimal) or shortly after. I'd hoped to get this stuff done much sooner, but unfortunately a combination of various personal matters has knocked me out for a couple of weeks.

(I'm not sure if it's just me, but it's possible the reason no-one's done two bugfix releases in a row is that PEP-006 is accursed, and brings down the wrath of gods on anyone foolish enough to get involved. I'm hoping that the last few weeks horror is over and done now...)
