Well, that and the beta deadline (we have to draw the line somewhere, or we'll be stuck in an eternal spiral of "just one more feature")

Guido wanted to get the beta out when we did exactly so we could draw this line in the sand. I'd much rather people be spending time getting what features we do have tested, stabilized, bug fixed, and turning the buildbots green across the board.

Having been caught by the 2.5 beta deadline with the changes that eventually became PEP 361 (and I think were significantly improved by the additional attention that was available due to the delay) I understand completely.

(And to everyone with features that get bumped to 2.7/3.1 because of this... while a number of you no doubt know this already, it really is astonishing how soon the next release seems to roll around, even with our fairly leisurely release schedules!)

Cheers,
Nick.
