"Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series released by the Python Software Foundation before it moves into 5 years of bugfix-only mode. "

That doesn't exclude others making a Python 2.8 that could include all sorts of crazy features. :) This is mainly just to get the pointless discussion over with.

I know you are just looking for a compromise, but this shouldn't be it: the PSF has deliberately stayed out of the actual Python engineering, so the release that Benjamin makes is not done by the PSF (but by Benjamin and his contributors :-).

I like the wording as it is (although I find the promise of five years of bug fix releases a bit too strong).
