I propose that we continue to see Fredrik as elementtree's "BDFL". If Fredrik wants the API in 3.2 to be changed to be backwards compatible with 2.x, we should do that, and damn the torpedoes (um, 3.1 compatibility). I would do this ASAP; if you can, fix it before merging 1.3. Since I hate XML equally whether it's text or bytes, please leave me out of this in the future; I apologize for having cause the problem in the first place (but note that apparently nobody cared or noticed until a week ago).

I would do this ASAP; if you can, fix it *before* merging 1.3.
