100% of votes cast were for "don't slip", so we won't slip.
Retreat! Full steam behind!

Python 3.6.0 final just slipped by two weeks. I scheduled 3.5.3 and
3.4.6 to ship about a month after 3.6.0 did, to "let the dust settle"
around the release. I expect a flood of adoption of 3.6, and people
switching will find bugs, and maybe those bugs are in 3.5 or 3.4. So
it just seemed sensible. 3.6 just slipped by two weeks. So now
there's less than two weeks between 3.6.0 final shipping and tagging
the release canddiates for 3.5.3 and 3.4.6. This isn't as much time
as I'd like. If I had total freedom to do as I liked, I'd slip my
releases by two weeks to match 3.6. But there might be people
planning around 3.5.3 and 3.4.6--like Guido was waiting for 3.5.3 for
something iirc. So, if you have an opinion, please vote for one of
these three options: * Don't slip 3.5.3. and 3.4.6. * Slip 3.5.3 and
3.4.6 by two weeks to match 3.6.0. * Slip 3.5.3 and 3.4.6 by a whole
month, to give 3.6.0 the ability to slip again without us having to
change the release.
I would appreciate a 3.5.3 release which doesn't slip, or which only
slips by a week, to be available before the Debian freeze. Neither
Debian nor Ubuntu ship the 3.4 branch anymore, so for 3.4 I'm fine
with any solution. Matthias
