Hello.
That might sound a bit like bike sheding, but I would like to talk a bit about naming scheme.
What do you think about actually naming PyPy release 2.5 after language version it supports?
We can invent suffixes like pypy-2.5-something in order to release still 2.5, but which supports some more things (like JIT?).
i think that PyPy's advances are not too much related to language compat issues but rather to better GCs, stackless, JITting, optimisations, etc. So i don't see the language compat as the central theme.
But to users of Python on PyPy, the corresponding CPython version is more important than say a new GC. Perhaps there should be two versions? -- Regards, Benjamin
