If you postulate that 2.even.x become the experimental release branches, then 2.2.3 with a bool type makes perfect sense. Once the bool type is in and you're satisfied that you've accounted for most of the necessary changes, you make a micro release. No big deal. Create tgz and zip files, maybe a Windows installer. On to the next one.

Hm. I'd like to keep the "stable between 2.x.a and 2.x.b" thing going, if only because the lib/python-x.y directory is shared between releases.
