Thanks, I got a lot of help From Thomas and Mike that proofread several time
and refactored some sections. So far we did not had any complaint that we were
breaking things for Python 2 users (which so far is a good sign). And the usual
Reddit and HN harsh comments were few.

We got already a  few bug reports where Jedi completion are less feature full
than what people expect. And now "complaints" that `?`/`pinfo` does not do
as much inference than <tab> :-D

I'm going to preach a bit how to do a smooth transition at PyCon in
about a month and detail a bit what we did upstream to allow this. I also
hope to get some time to backport a couple of PR that have merge
conflicts to the 5.x branch (if anyone want to help, look for close PRs with
the "Still Need Manual Backport" tag), and hopefully get a 5.4 release soon.
This will allow Python 2 / 5.x  users to re-use readline.

Cheers,
