The reason 3.2.3 is so soon is the need to patch the hash collision attack. Also remember that we are coordinating releases between several versions of Python for this issue, some of which are in security-only mode. The RMs of the active stable branches agree it's best to get these coordinated security releases out as soon as possible.

Well, one way to do it would be to release a rc now-ish, giving the community time to test it, and to already use it productively in critical cases, and release the final with the OSX fixes after/at PyCon.
