That said a separate stdlib release has been asked for at the language summit and I am supportive. But it's link with the moratorium is minimal.

Anyway, we'll probably get a better picture of what 3.2 will look like after the PEP is written and we have a rough release schedule. Before that it's moot to decide on a separate stdlib release.
I guess I'll wait and see then. :) Here's Distutils use case FYI. I don't know if it can be applied to other packages in the stdlib but.. : The work that is being done in Distutils is going to really speed up once the PEPs we are working on are over and hopefully accepted, and this package would benefit from a shorter cycle. The other idea would be to do extra standalone releases of Distutils, between two Python releases. I am currently doing nightly builds of the trunk that can be installed from 2.4 to 3.1 to make it easier for people to try out the current Distutils trunk. But it's just for testing purposes, because it's currently using a dirty .pth trick to shadow the existing distutils. Regards Tarek
