But waiting until all the betas have gone out totally defeats the
purpose of the betas! It has already been stated that new code changes
that are even remotely shaky or anything not small needs a code review
at this point since we only have one beta left. Barry can correct me
if I am wrong, but dropping a major rewrite of bsddb into 3.0 between
b3 and rc1 is not acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if all code
after b3 requires a code review since at that point we should just be
squashing bugs, not rewriting code. And if you are migrating all of
bsddb3 at once then that is going to be a massive code review that
should be happening in prep for rc1.

I really hate feeling like I am coming off as a jerk harping on this,
Jesus, as I don't want to discourage your contributions to pybsddb,
but it just doesn't feel reasonable to me to be doing this so late in
the release cycle.
