Fredrik,

would you mind commenting on this ?
I remember having read that only paying "customers" (of some sort)
would have "early access" to the svn version....?
( http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/support.htm )
This seems quite uncommon for open source projects where patch
submissions and bug reports from anyone are generally encouraged ....
so you submit a patch, but you can only get the updated version back
if you pay ...?

Thjanks,
My 2 cents,
Sebastian Haase
