1.4 is never going to happen. We are hoping to release a 1.4 alpha very
soon, merging this work would be a major mistake at this point.

The patch requires lots of changes to the way things work. Many are
small, but they impose some mental overhead (like using b() etc). We
need *all* the core developers to get fully up to speed with these
before we commit, otherwise we will introduce tons of bugs as we try to
get 1.4 out of the door, even if all the tests pass at the moment.

The timing is very good for 1.5, however, so hopefully we can merge soon
after the release of 1.4. Even then, I think 1.5 would be a "Python 3
preview" i.e. we wouldn't promise the same level of support for Python 3
as for Python 2.X.
