However the definition of "feature" vs. "bugfix" isn't always crystal clear.

Some things that went into 2.4 recently felt like small features to me; but others may disagree: - fixing chunk.py to allow chunk size to be > 2GB - supporting Unicode filenames in fileinput.py Are these features or bugfixes?

Sure, the line isn't so clear sometimes. I consider both of these bugfixes, but others could disagree. True/False, on the other hand, I don't think anyone disagrees about <wink/duck>

This stuff is always open for discussion, of course.
