P.S. (We're going to have a tough decision to make somewhere along the line where docs.python.org is concerned, too - when do we flick the switch and make a 3.x version of the docs the default? Easy. When 3.2 is released. When 2.7 is released, 3.2 becomes 'trunk'. Trunk released always take over docs.python.org. To do otherwise would be to say that 3.2 is not a real trunk release and not yet ready for real use -- a major slam. Actually, I thought this was already discussed and decided ;-). This also gives the 2.7 release it's day in the sun before relegation to maintenance status. Every new version (except 3.0 and 3.1) has gone to maintenance status and becomes the featured release on docs.python.org the day it was released. 2.7 would just spend less time as the featured release on that page. I'm not sure 3.2 should take over in December just yet. (There's also docs3.python.org that always lands at the latest 3.x documentation). However, there will be enough time to discuss this when 3.2 is actually about to be released.

Sure. Since I expect that the argument for treating 3.2 as a regular production-use-ready release will be stronger then than now, I agree on differing discussion.
