great!

sure, as long as Debian is not affected (and Ubuntu doesn't waste too
much of our work)

* how many Ubuntu developers at least read PEP 3147?
* how many of them will work on huge changes that packages need in order
to work with PEP3147?
* will Ubuntu force Debian to use these changes (you will *have to*
introduce them in 10.10 if you want to use python3.2 on desktop)?
FYI: I've been there, I tried to fix 2.6 related bugs in Ubuntu without
possibility to test them on Debian, it's not fun at all and I will not
do it again (since I got not nice comments and delays in return)
