[Python-Dev] RFC: trunk checkins between now and 2.5 final (original) (raw)

Only one gripe:

[Anthony Baxter]

... Once we hit release candidate 1, the trunk gets branched to reease25-maint.

Save the branch for 2.5 final (i.e., the 2.5final tag and the release25-maint branch start life exactly the same). Adding a new step before it's possible to fix rc1 critical bugs is the worst possible time to add a new step. PEP 356 shows only one week between rc1 and final, and nobody is gonna from frustration waiting a week to merge their (currently non-existent, AFAICT) 2.6 branches into the trunk.

As to the rest, I'll be happy to help revert things ;-)
