Making it clear on "what's new" would work best for me (as a Fedora 
packager). I don't think there are many other choices.

Obligatory question: What's the advantage of having TkDND bindings in 
the standard library, as opposed to making it a third-party package?
(And perhaps, in the stdlib, making it easier to wrap Tk packages in 
general?)


(FWIW, I read linux-sig but didn't get to respond before the python-dev 
post. So I'm replying here.)
