I'd love to see the native windows launcher in 2.5.2, but I don't want to make it a blocker for the release. Its issue (#1491) is still unassigned, though Oti did just start playing around with the launcher code a couple days ago. It's a possibility, but we'll have to see.

FYI the couple on my radar are:

http://bugs.jython.org/issue1595
http://bugs.jython.org/issue1522

Unfortunately I may punt on the latter as it's a really tricky entanglement in the core of our type system. 2.5.2 is beginning to feel overdue at this point, especially with the number of requests for a release with the jsr223 fixes/performance improvements/etc.

A beta in a week sounds good. We'll very likely do at least a 2.5.3 during 2.6's development.
