 Abstract
 
-    This document describes the post-Python 2.1 development and

-    PEP-sized items.  Small bug fixes and changes will occur up until
-    the first beta release.

-    NOTE: the schedule below and the list of features under
-    consideration are all subject to change!  If the energy in the
-    community changes or the feedback on a PEP is particularly
-    positive or negative, this may affect decisions.
+    The schedule below represents the actual release dates of Python
+    2.2.  Note that any subsequent maintenance releases of Python 2.2
+    should be covered by separate PEPs.

 Release Mechanics
 
-    We'd like to experiment with a new mechanism for releases: a week
-    before every alpha, beta or other release, we'll fork off a branch
-    which will become the release; changes to the branch will have to
-    be approved before they can be checked in.  This is how some other
-    large projects (e.g. Mozilla) work, and we hope it will help
-    reduce the number of bugs introduced in releases at the last
-    minute.
+    We experimented with a new mechanism for releases: a week before
+    every alpha, beta or other release, we forked off a branch which
+    became the release.  Changes to the branch are limited to the
+    release manager and his designated 'bots.  This experiment was
+    deemed a success and should be observed for future releases.  See
+    PEP 101 for the actual release mechanics[1].
