That's true.  But there wouldn't be a traditional OS X installer for 
2.7b1 anyway since it turns out it is not possible to build a multi-arch 
installer without patching because of a bug that wasn't caught before 
the code cutoff since there are no OS X buildbots that test that 
configuration.  But, at the moment, there aren't any OS X buildbots at 
all, are there?  That *is* something that the PSF could help with.  I 
would be happy to help with that myself, although my time to do so will 
be very limited for the next few weeks.
