OTOH, I suspect there won't be that many documentation fixes for Python 2.6 and that the overhead will be minimal. What did we do for Python 2.5?

The question really is whether there is any chance that they will get released, in some form. There won't be further binary releases (at least not from python.org), so there definitely won't be a CHM release.

For 2.5, I didn't do releases of the documentation for security releases. You might decide to make it differently, i.e. including doc sets with the security releases. If you are not going to release the documentation (which I would recommend), then committers should be advised not to commit changes to the documentation (as they will not get releases).

I do fail to see the point in favor of making documentation changes. Sure, 2.7 isn't yet widely available. However, 2.6 users should generally be fine with the 2.6.6 doc set - will the minor changes that we can make to it (given that no bug fixes will be made to the code) really matter?
