It isn't, AFAICT.  I had two people come up to me at the conference
and ask a few questions, with a promise to have something "soon".  I
had one other person email me a few weeks before the conference.  But
we've seen nothing, so I'm not very hopeful.

Mine's just one vote, but I really do not want to see patches floated
on python-dev.
