10 Have any other distribution moved to purely using python-3.1? The
11 reason is pretty simple: Not everything has been ported to use 3.1
12 yet. Hell, I personally have 3.1 under a local p.mask so I don't have
13 to bother with breakage due to it. (existing packages as well as
14 scripts/projects I have).

16 I do believe it will be very counter-productive to move it to stable
17 at this point.
