Just to be clear, this is exactly what I mean. I'm not saying AC is not worth it; I'm questioning the timing. Agreed; let's try to avoid far-ranging sets of changes so late in the beta cycle.
If we want to send 3.4 back to alpha and implement some form of string-formatting changes and Argument Clinic, that would be fine, though it might mean Ubuntu and other Linux distros might have to ship with 3.3 again because 3.4 wasn't done in time.
I hadn't considered slipping the release, but that does seem like an entirely sane idea. However, I'm not proposing slipping back to alpha so we can add the cause-celebre-of-the-week bytes formatting stuff, and we don't need to slip all the way back to alpha for Argument Clinic. A third beta seems entirely reasonable though. Let's try the derby for a couple of days and see how we feel.
