However, I'd have to say that your timing sucks :-) Your initial message read to me as "Quick! I'm about to get lynched here - can I have the OK to shove this change in before a2 goes out?"

And this just proves that my response wasn't anywhere near as considered as I thought. You explicitly said 2.6, which I'd forgotten.

I have no problem with going with your instinct in 2.6. But I do believe that there may be more breakage than you have considered (PEP 302 experience talking here :-)) so get it in early rather than late!

Of course this is all a bit moot now, as the decision seems to have been made. Sigh.
