What is your opinion about it? > Have any other distribution moved to purely using python-3.1? The reason is pretty simple: Not everything has been ported to use 3.1 yet. Hell, I personally have 3.1 under a local p.mask so I don't have to bother with breakage due to it. (existing packages as well as scripts/projects I have). I do believe it will be very counter-productive to move it to stable at this point. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan GNOME+Mozilla Team, Gentoo
