Yes. That's the whole point of time-based releases. Please stick to the plan. We've already slipped once. Perfection is not required.

The trend was clear even before Guido weighed in.  But that certainly clinches it.

I've just posted to python-dev announcing that the Derby is closing.  I'm not cutting it off instantly, in case there are people with partially-complete patches that haven't been posted to the issue tracker.  (I know of one such person: me.)  So I'm giving them a little time to submit their patches, Wednesday morning at midnight.

This'll be nice for me as I could use a break from Argument Clinic, and the Derby in particular.


And, in hindsight, perfection was never on the table ;-)
