I think that evolutionary and not huge amounts of churn would be good
for a 3.2.  Things that I care about/am looking into getting going in
the next little bit:
 - actually getting the python 2.5 stuff committed
 - trying to get the infrastructure for handling CDs pushed down into
yum
 - as always, look at profiling for speedups and memory usage
improvements

If 3.2 isn't huge API changes[1], I'd be very happy :-)

[1] In fact, it'd be nice if 3.2 were completely API compatible.
Perhaps some things are deprecated, but if things keep working then
we're better off I think.
