There's a great Duke Ellington quote: ``Without a deadline, baby, I wouldn't do nothing.'' The SSL code in 2.6 is out-of-date (buggy) compared to the code in the 3.x branch, for instance. I just haven't prioritized backporting the 3.x fixes, because there's no schedule for 2.6.
Eh? PEP 3000 has a schedule that includes 2.6:
- August 2007: release 3.0a1.
- December 2007: release 3.0a2.
- Early 2007 (pre-PyCon): release 2.6a1.
- May 2008 (post-PyCon): full feature freeze for 3.0 and 2.6.
- July 2008: release 2.6 (final).
- August 2008: release 3.0 (final).
