"5 years" was once recorded in the 2.7 release page: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2010-April/573621.html ... although it isn't anymore: “Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series before it moves into an extended maintenance period.” http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/ Benjamin is the 2.7 release manager (good choice on his part ;-)), and on this thread he seems to be of the advice that 5 years is the number. Perhaps we can relax the 2.7 bugfix policy a bit: bugfix releases are made for 5 years, but core developers are free not to port minor bugfixes if they want to save up some time.
