Please reconsider. When Python migrates to Mercurial, new features
will be added to Python, most notably a new way of identifying versions,
perhaps new variables in the sys module. So far, the policy has been
that no new features can be added after beta 1. So consequentially,
migrating 3.2 to Mercurial would violate that policy if done after b1.
Consequentially, we would need to release 3.2 from Subversion, which
in turn means that the Mercurial migration should be delayed until
after 3.2 is released.

Alternatively, b1 should be postponed until after the Mercurial
migration is done.
