There should probably be a PEP sets clearer guidelines about what should be backported from Py3.0.

Perhaps something like this: * If there is a new feature that can be implemented in both and will make both more attractive, then it should be in both. * If something is going away or changing in 3.0, then the 2.6 conversion tool mode should warn about it if possible. * If neither of the above apply, then leave 2.6 alone.

[Guido van Rossum]

Can you volunteer a draft? It could be PEP 3003. I'm probably too close to 3.0 to be able to objectively write this, which really represents end users' desire for stability in 2.6.

Yes. Will do.
