Another topic (possibly) is the splitting of the stdlib from the core interpreter repo. We have more experience now with Mercurial to know whether this is feasible, and hopefully we'll have enough representation from the other implementations to know whether it would still be useful.
I won't be there either, but my two cents on this particular topic is that I'd be *really* keen to see two active development branches in the CPython repo post-3.3 release: "stdlib" and "default"
It would mean that, for the life of 3.3, we'll always have the option of cutting a new release that *only* updates the standard library, without touching the interpreter core.
Cheers, Nick.
