Seems like we have interop issues vs upstream involvement.  If whytheluckystiff
isn't interested in making timely releases that address the deficiencies for
non-ruby bindings that makes pysyck a lot less attractive.  As you note, yaml
1.1 implementations are popping up (the ruby version is even based on pyyaml...)
 Are we doing python programmers a favor by implementing a yaml-1.0 parser as
the only option so they have to make an incompatible update to yaml-1.1 later?

There's a place for both yaml 1.0 and 1.1 libraries right now but if I'm
developing a new python app with yaml support, I think pyyaml's involved
upstream and Unicode support make it a better candidate.  Up to you if you want
to be in charge of the pyyaml package or want to work on pysyck (and from there
we'll figure out if Oliver is still interested in syck or if it needs to be
orphaned and somes else take over.)
