Everything I read in this thread says that 2.7 only gets bug fixes, and even at that it has to be a pretty bad bug. (Benjamin: "If it's been broken for all of the 2.x series, it probably doesn't need to be fixed now.") I don't see even mild dissent; the replies have been strongly unanimous

Maybe time it so when we *would* have released a 2.8 (18 months or so after 2.7) is when it goes into critical/security fixes only? On Jun 22, 2013 11:50 PM, "Eli Bendersky" wrote: > > > > On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 12:35 PM, Barry Warsaw wrote: > >> On Jun 22, 2013, at 12:02 PM, Eli Bendersky wrot

[python-committers] Policy for committing to 2.7

2013-06-22 Thread Eli Bendersky
