I suggest we make a 1.1.x branch from the current state of master, and consider it as a placeholder for now. Then we bump the version number in the py3 repo to *2.0*, merge py3/master back into mpl/master, and delete the py3 repo. The reason for bumping to v2.0 is simply to draw everyone's attention to the fact the next release will be the first to drop support for <=python-2.5. Once folks start working with the master (2.0) branch, if we have any complaints that a version 1.1 release was needed after all, we can cut it from the 1.1.x placeholder branch.
