OK...as an overarching summary, I think this sounds good.

I think it would be "nicer" if (a) we would apply for graduation and (b)
make 3.5 our first release *after* graduation whenever that release occurs.
It just seems like a better initial "after graduation" start to me. So I
would hope we wouldn't need a 3.4.2 unless we didn't want to delay the
inclusion of additional languages (some of which I know are VERY close to
completion so I hesitate to bring this up in some respect), and so any
security as "patches" rather than a "new" micro version.
Re -- security bug fixes. I know we did the older CVE-2012-0037 with
"patches" to Windows and Mac. But we weren't able to deal with a Linux
patch as I recall. (I don't know what progress has been made on that front).
