Hey Barry, stop stealing my ideas! :) I've argued for these default settings for days. ver delivery randomized hashing ========================================== 2.3 patch disabled by default 2.4 patch disabled 2.5 patch disabled 2.6 release disabled 2.7 release disabled 3.0 ignore? disabled 3.1 release disabled 3.2 release disabled 3.3 n/a yet enabled by default

I don't think we (python-dev) are really concerned with 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 3.0. They're all unsupported, and people do what they want with their local source trees.

Regards

Antoine.
