Was there any concern about the dozens of "Stackless Python 2.x" and "Stackless Python 3.x" versions that I have released over the years being a cause for confusion? Or more importantly, any actual problems experienced? Yet, suddenly, the chance that we may release a "Stackless Python 2.8", is a concern.

It is, as long as there is "Python 2.8" in it: it will breed confusion amongst the 99% of non-experts our community is composed of.

To be clear: I don't think anyone would go after you for doing so (perhaps Barry will play a bass solo? :-)), but it would still be a shame IMHO.
