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. I think that the most important release is docs.python.org/2.6, regardless of python.org/OS-specific downloadable doc packages.

Which is not updated from the branch anymore. You will see that it redirects to /releases/2.6.6, which is the docs released with 2.6.6.

If people do like haypo and use the most recent docs instead of the version-specific ones, there’s indeed no need to bother with porting doc fixes and improvements. If people use docs.py.org/2.6 as a reference for some years while 2.7 is not on their systems, it may be worthwhile to keep updating those docs.

I do think that most people just use docs.python.org, and since we clearly mark everything that is new in 2.7 there is no harm in doing so either.

I don't think I'll want to bother with porting doc fixes to the 2.6 branch.
