I don't know about you, but when a package can't be stabled because
it's depending on Python 2.5 and current stable is broken I'd like
to start reverting stable keywords back to ~arch as noone wants to
maintain broken junk. Latest being app-cdr/gtkcdlabel, and
media-video/gaupol. Perhaps it should be a council agenda?

Not much different from "slacking arches", it's simple, lack of
active devs. What I would prefer, of course, is a list from one of
python members to get it into stable but have no expetations, since
I've asked it many times past 1-2 years.

Unless there are any objections from the rest of the Python project,
I'll try to get this done within the next 24 hours.

I think it's good to go.

There are a few things which need some kind of action before/during
python 2.5 stabilization:

Needs stabilization:
* dev-python/python-bibtext-1.2.3
* dev-python/pyvorbis-1.4-r3 (a bit buggy, debian has patches for 1.3,
some of them can be ported)
* tinyerp? http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31554
* dev-libs/xapian-1.0.6
* dev-libs/xapian-bindings-1.0.6
* dev-python/pygame-1.8.0 (buggy, I have patches from trunk, we might
want to wait to 1.8.1)
* dev-python/soappy-0.12.0 (bug #216385)

Needs fix:
* x11-misc/qterm (bug #216466)
* dev-db/rekall (bug #141068) - needs bump, probably this is going to
be p.masked and eventually removed from the tree

We have bug 178800, too. Either mark individual stabilisation bugs
blocking it or add them to 178800 when ccing arches.
And I don't think one or two packages should hold up that Python 2.5
