I also didn't want to add another RC and slip the release--Matthias said he

(One might say, "Ubuntu's release schedule is irrelevant, you should do
what's best for Python". To that I'd reply, "They asked nicely, and nobody
else was asking for anything, so it seemed reasonable to accommodate them,
and this will get 3.4.2 into the hands of a lot of people".)
I may be a touch (*cough*totally*cough*) biased, but attempting to
accommodate redistributors when it doesn't place any excessive demands
on the upstream release cycle sounds like a fine approach to me :)
I don't have that bias, and I think that finalizing an apparently good
candidate -- and doing 3.4.3 in about 4 months, is the right thing
anyway. If there were a .rc2 released, it would not be guaranteed to be
free of problems, and it would likely be followed by more 'nice to have'
features.
