I believe we are on track for releasing Python 3.0 final and 2.6.1
tomorrow. There is just one release blocker for 3.0 left -- Guido
needs to finish the What's New for 3.0.

This is bug 2306.

So that Martin can have something to work with when he wakes up
tomorrow morning, I would like to tag and branch the tree some time
today, Tuesday 02-Dec US/Eastern. Therefore I am freezing both the
2.6 and 3.0 trees, with special dispensation to Guido for the updated
What's New.

Ping me on irc @ freenode #python-dev if you have anything else to
check in to either tree before then. As soon as I hear from Guido, or
issue 2306 is closed, I'm branching 3.0 and tagging it for release.

Great work everyone, we're almost there!
