We should also make a plan for a 2.3 maintenance release. There have been a lot of checkins, but I haven't gotten a sense for how significant the bugs were.

I watch the checkins for the sake of the 2.4 document, and haven't seen any bugfixes that seemed really critical. No one in c.l.py seems to be running into any of the memory leaks that were fixed, and none of the fixed bugs seem likely to silently lose or corrupt data.

Is it worth holding 2.3.1 until after Panther ships, on the assumption that its release will turn up more users and more bugs? If not, 2.3.1's timing can probably be left up to the release manager, who can make the release whenever he feels like it.
