Also -- we probably want a news item to say something like this:
====
The experimental transforms refactoring changes have been merged into
SVN trunk. While this version is passing all examples and unit tests,
there may be changes that subtly break things that used to work, raise
nasty exceptions or kill innocent puppies. To help move matplotlib
forward, we encourage all users who are comfortable with the bleeding
edge to use the trunk with their own plots and report any bugs to the
mailing list. If the trunk is not working for you and you just need
something that works, download the 0.91.2 release, or check out the
0.91.x maintenance branch from svn:
svn co
https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/branches/v0_91_maint
matplotlib_0_91_maint
