The trend was clear even before Guido weighed in.  But that certainly 
clinches it.

I've just posted to python-dev announcing that the Derby is closing.  
I'm not cutting it off instantly, in case there are people with 
partially-complete patches that haven't been posted to the issue 
tracker.  (I know of one such person: me.)  So I'm giving them a little 
time to submit their patches, Wednesday morning at midnight.

This'll be nice for me as I could use a break from Argument Clinic, and 
the Derby in particular.


And, in hindsight, perfection was never on the table ;-)
