I seem to recall that when we discussed the future of Python 2.x, and the decision that 2.7 would be the final version and there would be no 2.8, we reached a consensus that if anyone did backport Python 3 features to a Python 2 fork, they should not call it Python 2.8 as that could mislead people into thinking it was officially supported.
I think the project should be renamed to make it clear that its a fork, like Stackless.
Yes, exactly right. It's not sanctioned by the PSF and should not be called "Python" anything.
