Just to make the point clear, the licence issue is not holding back
development on 2.0 anymore. It is currently holding up the release of 1.6
(as far as I know, anyway) and it does eat some time of some of the PyLabs
folx, but there are plenty of other developers, and Tim is doing a good job
as slavedriver ;)

However, as has been said a few times, 2.0 is already in feature freeze, so
stackless won't make it in there. I believe the plan is to put less time
between 2.0 and 2.1 than there was between 1.5.2 and 1.6, though, so
hopefully it can follow soon ;)
