I've been thinking the same thing, too. A quick chat to Neal says that he also agrees.

There's still a lot more bugs popping up than I'm really comfortable with. I guess this is inevitable - there's a lot of new stuff in 2.5. Does anyone disagree with making the next release beta3?

+1. It would give me more type to port and test a few of my
applications to the new version.

FWIW, our commercial app went pretty smoothly, mostly dealing with
Py_ssize_t conversions and adopting the new PySet C API. I'm still
working on Mailman but the most painful thing so far has been the
conversion of exceptions to new-style classes, and even that wasn't / too/ painful. I've only done limited testing of both, but I'm
encouraged that the porting effort will be minor (probably no more
than a day's worth of work for both apps combined).
