simplejson [LSARC/2008/722 FastTrack timeout 11/26/2008]

[Brian Cameron]

Danek:

I posed a question with the upstream maintainers to ask them about the
purpose of the egg files and whether they need to be installed.  Refer
here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-November/010556.html

I am extending the timeout to next Tuesday 12/02, in the hopes that I get
an answer from the upstream community so we can make sure we are doing the
right thing and installing the correct files.
