Side note to Eric: as a subscriber to python-dev, but not currently a
member of the actual development process, I generally don't see checkin
messages unless someone else comments on them.  I think at a minimum
courtesy would suggest that you post an announcement of the checkin when
it's feature work that hasn't been PEPed.
