[Python-Dev] PEP 0404 and VS 2010

Oh, this is the misunderstanding.  No one is trying to get permission for "CPython 2.8",
only "Stackless Python 2.8".

The "namespace" question from Christian has to do with a "python28.dll" which would be
built using VS2010, that this would never clash with a CPython version built the
same way.   such clashes would be very unfortunate.

Of course, we could even make a full break, if there will never be a CPython 2.8 (which there won't be)
and call the dll slpython28.dll.
