I agree that it would be good to get the security-related and OpenSSL-related fixes in sooner than later and there has been a lot going on recently. Since you have asked so nicely, I have rescheduled the cutoffs for 3.7.1rc1 and 3.6.7rc1 to be by the end of 2018-09-24 (23:59 AoE) and the final releases now on 2018-10-04. Everyone else: here are a few more days to get important things in to these releases. -- Ned Deily n...@python.org -- [] _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
