Subject: [Python-Dev] 2.1.2 release -- do we need a beta?

Do we need a beta for the 2.1.2 release?  I think it might be prudent
-- Anthony's last-minute checking of a critical fix to a bug that
prevented compilation on one platform points this out again.

The alternative is to be optimistic, and to quickly release 2.1.3 if
2.1.2 has a problem that we discover after its release.

Opinions?  I think a beta is prudent, and it shouldn't cost too much
more in effort -- if we're lucky, nothing changes and we just fiddle
some version numbers.  If it turns out to be needed, it's better than
having to wear a brown bag over your head. :-)
