I mentioned this to Guido and got a positive response, so let me state my preference for your feedback. I plan on holding up the final releases until both versions are ready to go. I think this will help motivate us to give Python 2.6 the love it needs if it's lagging behind 3.0, and I completely agree with Guido that this let's our community know that both versions are equally important to us. The other thing is that I'd really like is a "show stoppers" Roundup search. The idea is that if our core buildbots look good and the "show stoppers" search turns up no items, then I know I can cut a release (at least for alphas, betas, and rcs). If there are "show stoppers" then I have something that I can triage (and maybe re-assign severity) or start publicly harassing people into fixing. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBR91XxHEjvBPtnXfVAQIINwQAsaJ8uWb0FXqD9wZV8AuE7CxG2RLEZl42 vz2EUbAs7n/txV/lWs3N4syZvfS7g0Q3rgd65LvpUCi4+r6M3MpKcl9VFxGfheUD mHf5LajS/wEEXyFpxG9+dGfhPpD7JFx21PKyOpHKnq3LP0fCt3yenOi/nEF5zfHr Ogc6JOapRiM= =0f9G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
