It really depends on how many of the big-ticket items are going to be in the release. Remember: a 2.4 that's broken is far, far, far worse than a 2.4 that's 6-8 weeks later. Python's release cycle has historically been cautious and measured. I really don't see why we need to rush this one.

Raymond,

Why don't you cut your teeth on a few micro releases, starting with Python 2.3.4? Then if you still want to do it you can be the release manager for Python 2.5.
