The first release candidate of Python 3.4 will be tagged in about two weeks. We need to be completely done with the Derby by then. And it's going to take a while to review and iterate on the patches we've got.
Therefore: I'm going to stop accepting submissions for new patches in two days. Patches posted to the issue tracker on or after Wednesday Jan 29 at 12:00:01am will not be accepted. If you have a patch you're still working on, you have until then to get it in.
Why not delay rc1 by a week or two and get this work done?
We discussed that. The core developers, and Guido in particular, were against it. One good reason: if we slip Python 3.4 again we will miss shipping Python 3.4 final with Ubuntu 14.04.
