  #    and Tim Peters
  
+ # This module is currently Py2.3 compatible and should be kept that way
+ # unless a major compelling advantage arises.  IOW, 2.3 compatibility is
+ # strongly preferred, but not guaranteed.
+ 
+ # Also, this module should be kept in sync with the latest updates of
+ # the IBM specification as it evolves.  Those updates will be treated
+ # as bug fixes (deviation from the spec is a compatibility, usability
+ # bug) and will be backported.  At this point the spec is stabilizing
+ # and the updates are becoming fewer, smaller, and less significant.
