What will this achieve with respect to the 3.11 milestones? I'm still
struggling trying to understand how to measure when 3.11 is done. Can
anyone help me understanding this? When exactly do *you* think 3.11 is
done and how would you measure progress on the way to that goal?
[BTW, I'm still completely confused about whether 3.11 has even started,
whether it is in alpha or in beta or what. I keep getting contradicting
answers and it would be mightily helpful if someone could clear up that
confusion as well]

To be honest, it sounds like feature creep ;-) Closures weren't on the
list for the 3.11 when the process began and I'd rather get 3.11
finished than expand its scope. I have the feeling that you are all
having troubles finding enough time to move 3.11 forward and in this
situation expanding scope is probably not helpful.
