I too would like an rc3, especially to see if issue 19021 can be fixed, which I suspect will hit a lot of people. I talked to the other guys on the 3.4 team, and we're all willing to do an rc3 this weekend. I'll add that to PEP 429.

In other news, I'm thrilled to confirm something Antoine mentioned a week or two ago: it is literally impossible for garden-variety core devs to push new branches back into trunk. I tried to, early this morning (PST), with someone logged in to hg.python.org ready to clean up in case it actually worked. But happily hg hooks on the server reject new branches every time. Since this banishes my chief objection to publishing the repo where I do my cherry picking, I'll be publishing that repo this week. I think I still have a rebase ahead of me, so I'm going wait until after the latest (and hopefully last!) round of cherry-picking. I'll post to python-dev once the tree is public.

Thanks, Larry!

I know I have no idea how much work it takes to be an RM, but I appreciate you taking the time, learning the ropes, and getting this done for the rest of us.
