Given that last December you wrote
"And in my absolutely personal opinion Python 3.3/3.4 should be more 
like Python 2* and Python 2.8 should happen and be a bit more like 
Python 3."
* you wrote '3' but obviously must have meant '2'.

I would like to know if you think that this one change is enough to do 
agile development and testing, etc, or whether, as Chris McDonough 
hopes, this is just the first of a series of proposals you have planned.
