[Tim, wondering why the 3.2 branch isn't "inactive"]

[Georg Brandl]

FWIW I have no real objections, I just don't see the gain.

I'm glad it's OK! Especially because it's already been done ;-)

Two gains:

"hg branches" output now matches what the developer docs imply it should be. It didn't before.
If a security fix needs to made to 3.2, it will be much easier to forward-merge it to the 3.3 and default branches now (the merges won't suck in a pile of ancient, and unwanted, irrelevant-to-the-fix changes).
