I haven't applied the same obsessiveness to 2.7, but I do intend to look closely at Jython's ast.py results compared to CPython's in the 3.x effort. Also I plan to allow some backwards compatibility compromises between early point releases of our 2.7 series, as I want to apply what I learn in our 3.x effort to 2.7 point releases, so we should be able to keep up with most simple ast.py changes. I'm not so sure that the current discussion are going to be "simple though" :) -- if it's pure python we should hopefully be alright.
