What is a "not-yet-gold" Python release?  Guido just announced the 2.1
release candidate.  We'll have the final 2.1 release on Tuesday.  

Is that a "not-yet-gold" release?  I've got no idea.  Perhaps it's
just a brassy release :-).  Is the gold-vs.-lead categorization
something that users come up with in secret after using the software
for a few months.

I'm pleased to see that the new Python 2.x features will be available
for use by Zope developers.
