Having worked intensively on the Derby for over a week, I feel an urge to see it through soon. The least we could do is to stop adding features to clinic.py, only fixing bugs; convert everything that is possible to convert now and mark everything else appropriately; and leave tying up the loose ends for 3.5.
Actually, I think one thing we need to consider is when Larry plans to make the maintenance branch for 3.4. I believe historically, we have done that with the first release candidate, so the current schedule would allow clinic conversions for 3.5 to resume in just couple of weeks time. The difference between the beta and RC period is that only critical regressions discovered in the RC are considered for inclusion
- even normal bug fixing is typically postponed until after the release at that point. Any fixes incorporated during that period typically involve at least three core devs (release manager to say yes to including the fix, one to write a patch, another to review it).
Cheers, Nick.
P.S. There are a couple of builtin docstring fixes I now plan to apply directly, since I won't be converting those to Argument Clinic for 3.4 after all.
