If you don't bother reading news items or messages from packages, there
is nothing we can do. I don't feel that this is an excuse for holding
up stabilization.

The message above looks pretty clear to me. It works, but don't make it
the default. Having it marked "stable" and being able to use it as the
default python are two separate things, and the maintainer is making it
very clear in this message that it can't be the default python.
