I'm afraid almost nothing on python.org with an active component works today
(not searches, not the FAQ Wizard, not the 2.0 Wiki, ...).  If history is
any clue, these will remain broken until Guido gets back from vacation.

Would be OK by me.  I'm more concerned that the whole of python.org has
barely been updated since March; huge chunks of the FAQ are still relevant,
but, e.g., the Job Board hasn't been touched in over 3 months; the News got
so out of date Guido deleted the whole section; etc.

It appears that CNRI can only think about one thing at a time <0.5 wink>.
For the last 6 months, that thing has been the license.  If they ever
resolve the GPL compatibility issue, maybe they can be persuaded to think
about the PSA.  In the meantime, I'd suggest you not renew <ahem>.
