Mostly unfixed bugs, test skips and implementation gaps. They're not
hidden. A number of XXX and FIXME comments are scattered around the code
base and we have a bug-tracker. Also, I wish there were better
explanations of some of the cleverness. My point, however, is that when
working mostly as a maintainer, and perfectionist, flaws loom large and
one forgets that Jython is a significant intellectual feat that does a
good job for many users in practice.

You're welcome. The next beta will appear shortly in NEWS and if nothing
really bad turns up, a release candidate in 2-3 weeks. A roadmap (for
2.7.x and 3.x) would not be worth much except as declaration of intent
to go that way.

I'm glad you've found it so. Although familiar mostly with
its flaws, <br>
now and then I stand far enough back to recognise how
remarkable an <br>
achievement it is, and that I have the privilege of
contributing to.<br>
