Stackless can release their own Stackless 2.8 if they want, but I don't get why CPython would have a 2.8 too.

Oh, this is the misunderstanding. No one is trying to get permission for "CPython 2.8", only "Stackless Python 2.8".

The "namespace" question from Christian has to do with a "python28.dll" which would be built using VS2010, that this would never clash with a CPython version built the same way. such clashes would be very unfortunate.

Of course, we could even make a full break, if there will never be a CPython 2.8 (which there won't be) and call the dll slpython28.dll.

Cheers,

K
