Absolutely not. Its actually the opposite. Until 90+% of the tree just works with the new version of python, it should not be stabilized. The stable tree should all Just Work together. Stabilizing python-3 at this point would be the equivalent of me stabilizing gcc-4.5 after its been in the tree for a few months and nothing else works with it. Sure, gcc works just fine, but it can't compile half of the tree. I hope everyone can see that this is a terrible idea and of no use to our stable users. If a stable user really needs Python-3, they will have the technical ability to unmask it and use it properly. -- Mark Loeser email - halcy0n AT gentoo DOT org email - mark AT halcy0n DOT com web - http://www.halcy0n.com
