I don't think that's a novel idea though - I'm pretty sure it was suggested (and met with general approval) when the idea of a short release cycle for 3.1 was first brought up. I presume because it has been stated before. In addition to the question above, I am also trying to provoke thought on the nature and purpose of 2.7. Backporting features 'if someone feels like it' seems pretty haphazard. For someone wanting to maintain compatibility across multiple 2.x releases, a random new features may be nearly useless.

The "What's new in Python 2.7" list is already very impressive. :-)
