My original plan was to delay integration of pybsddb 5.x.x for 2.7.1 release
Bugfix releases are only for bug fixes, by definition. 2.7.1 shouldn't receive such a change.
I am reluctant to integrate the code change before beta1, because although it should be transparent I don't want to risk a red buildbot, even for 20 minutes, so close to beta1.
Why should it be "transparent"? Are you so confident that it won't bring any new problems? Given that we are talking about a new major version number, this sounds a bit optimistic.
