Agreed.  Can you elaborate on what "experimental support for Python3 as the
Python that is shipped on the various Ubuntu ISOs" means to you?  Does that
mean no Python 2.7 on the ISO?  Also, by "experimental" do you mean having a
process for creating alternative CDs that have only Python 3.2 but not on the
standard daily CDs?
