For Win32 developers, the more projects that distribute Python 2.6 and 3.0 binary installers for C extensions, the easier it will be to test.
So projects out there - start distributing 2.6 and 3.0 compatible binaries now! Don't wait for the final release!

"... and particularly if you run the Windows version!"
Good point, but of course this means getting holding of binaries for external modules, or compiling-your-own. I'm quite willing to do the latter, but that often means going through a surprisingly awkward series of quests for library code etc., setting up VS projects and so on.
I applaud the work which Mike Driscoll has done in this respect but he can't compile every flavour of everything.
I applaud the fact that, for example, the pyodbc maintainers already offer binaries from 2.4 to 2.6. Hopefully other library maintainers can (and maybe already do) follow suit.
