There are a few things which need some kind of action before/during
python 2.5 stabilization:

Needs stabilization:
* dev-python/python-bibtext-1.2.3
* dev-python/pyvorbis-1.4-r3 (a bit buggy, debian has patches for 1.3,
some of them can be ported)
* tinyerp? http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31554
* dev-libs/xapian-1.0.6
* dev-libs/xapian-bindings-1.0.6
* dev-python/pygame-1.8.0 (buggy, I have patches from trunk, we might
want to wait to 1.8.1)
* dev-python/soappy-0.12.0 (bug #216385)

Needs fix:
* x11-misc/qterm (bug #216466)
* dev-db/rekall (bug #141068) - needs bump, probably this is going to
be p.masked and eventually removed from the tree
