Yes, that's all I meant: make it the committer's job to merge or block as appropriate. I just wasn't sure if there was some reason that this would be difficult or undesirable.
Ah, yes. It is indeed difficult or undesirable, or was so in the past: Some committers don't care (didn't care) at all about 3k. They would have to setup sandboxes, learn what the nature of changes is, and invest some regular time into forward-porting.
Is this *really* the case still? Who are these rogue committers? ;-) I think holding a developer accountable for merging or blocking to py3k when they commit to trunk is a great idea. Who better to pass judgement on such an activity than the person closest to it? Trent.
