As a Cpython developer; you and I both know 2.7 is slated to be the final "big" release of python 2.x. Anything past that point will be only bug fix/security fixes. Unladen would require a whole new 2.x release, which is not, and more than likely will not be planned. We're not playing games, we're putting features into 3k knowing full well we plan on putting 2.x out to pasture. We're making the selling points of Py3k porting much more compelling to library/framework/etc authors. If someone wants to fork 2.7 and merge it with unladen, or better yet simply run the 2.x release of unladen-swallow up on google code, that's totally their prerogative, and I know some people will. From a feature standpoint though, this is a good think for 3k as it sits today.
