[Python-Dev] Maintaining old releases (original) (raw)

For example, let's project dates for closing 2.6 and 3.0 now, and add them to PEP 361.

My view is that they should be closed when 2.7 and 3.1 are released.

Following another informal policy, we were going for an 18 months release cycle at some time (2.6 clearly took longer), which would mean that those branches get closed on March 1, 2010. Security releases will be available until October 1, 2013.

Regards, Martin
