So, does anyone want to set a list of goals for 2.3? Here's my list:
 Implement PEP 262, and a simple package manager on top of it.

 Finish the block encryption PEP. Neil S. suggested to me that
 adding AES to Python's standard library would be a good idea.
 (And maybe deprecate rotor if we do that.)

 Add support for the long-awaited Python catalog.

 Documentation: complete the distribution and installation manuals

 Look over the Demos/ directory and update where required. (Of
 course, I wanted to do that for every previous 2.x release, too, so
 don't be too surprised if it doesn't happen.)
