I'll use this opportunity to remind you that 3.4 build is broken -- it
can't be built from start to installer with the instructions given
because of outside factors (CPython has migrated from Hg to Git).
https://bugs.python.org/issue31623 about this was ignored (see
https://bugs.python.org/issue31623#msg303708 for supplemental fixes).
If this isn't something considered needing a fix, the claim that 3.4 is
supported in any shape and form is but a pretense -- if something can't
be built, it can't be used.

My six-month cadence means it's time for the next releases of 3.4 and
3.5. There haven't been many changes since the last releases--two, to
be exact. These two security fixes were backported to both 3.4 and 3.5:
* bpo-32981: Fix catastrophic backtracking vulns (GH-5955)
* bpo-33001: Prevent buffer overrun in os.symlink (GH-5989)
3.5 also got some doc-only changes related to the online "version
switcher" dropdown. (They weren't backported to 3.4 because we don't
list 3.4 in the version switcher dropdown anymore.)
There are currently no PRs open for either 3.4 or 3.5, and they also
have no open "release blocker" or "deferred blocker" bugs. It seems
things are pretty quiet in our two security-fixes-only branches--a
good way to be!
I therefore propose to cut the RCs in a week and a half, and the
finals two weeks later. So:
Wednesday July 18 2018 - 3.4.9rc1 and 3.5.6rc1
Wednesday August 1 2018 - 3.4.9 final and 3.5.6 final
If anybody needs more time I'm totally happy to accommodate them--you
can probably have all the time you need. I'm trying to keep to my
rough six-month cadence, but honestly that's pretty arbitrary.
Thanks to all of you who keep making 3.4 and 3.5 better,
