Well, from the number of release blockers it sounds like another 3.0 beta is the right thing. For 2.6 however I believe we're much closer to the finish line -- there aren't all those bytes/str issues to clean up, for example! And apparently the benefit of releasing on schedule is that we will be included in OSX. That's a much bigger deal for 2.6 than for 3.0 (I doubt that Apple would add two versions anyway).
The MajorOS Vendor (tm) may be willing to ship a 3.0 beta if it's far enough along, though not as the primary Python version. They clearly want 2.6 for that.
