I would like to propose that we plan for 3.2.3 and 2.7.3 immediately after PyCon, so approximately March 17, if that works for all involved. My primary rationale is to allow time to address all of the OS X Xcode 4 issues for 10.6 and 10.7. They need to be fixed in 2.7.x, 3.2.x, and 3.3: right now it is not possible to build C extension modules in some sets of configurations. As I mentioned the other day, it is going to take a few more weeks to finish testing and generate all the fixes. The reason 3.2.3 is so soon is the need to patch the hash collision attack.

I understand that but, to me, it makes no sense to send out truly broken releases. Besides, the hash collision attack is not exactly new either. Another few weeks can't make that much of a difference.
