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. There are a couple of release blockers right now. Once they are fixed or deferred, I think it would be nice to have a 3.1.2. Why do you need "some advance warning" though?

Advance warning does allow interested users that would consider upgrading to schedule time for testing before the maintenance release comes out. This is particularly useful in helping to make a 1-week RC period effective in picking up issues that might otherwise lead to a brown paper bag release to fix major issues that slipped through our own automated test coverage.

Cheers, Nick.
