I've recently seen a couple of references to 3.1.2 go by in checkins which made me wonder whether dates have been proposed yet for updates to either 3.1 or 2.6. I don't recall seeing any and I didn't see any references in the PEPs. Some advance warning would be nice. I assume that some critical problem could trigger planning for an update on short notice; is there a time-limit trigger as well?

Usually there is one more regular maintenance release of the existing maintenance branches within a few months of the creation of the next version (releases before then are at the discretion of the release manager, and security releases continue for much longer).

So take the planned 2.7 and 3.2 release dates and add a couple of months to each one to get the likely release dates for the 2.6.x and 3.1.x maintenance releases.

Cheers, Nick.
