Now that the re fixes are in for py3.7, I think our primary branch for development should be py3.7, with backports to py3.6 if needed. PEP 494 for python 3.6 has that version in a security-fixes-only stage, so we should adopt a similar strategy (although some bug-fixes may be needed, especially around utf8 problems that are still cropping up).
I think it's a bad idea to reverse the direction of merges now. We still have quite a few fixes coming in for 3.6.
Toward that end, I have updated the buildbot configuration to build nightlies off the py3.7 branch instead of the py3.6 branch. So if you wish to obtain a newer build of py3.6, you will need to manually trigger the buildbots.
+1 though ideally we would just run both as nightlies.
This does not change the status of the default branch.
Please let me know if this was too fast and you feel we should continue to use py3.6 as our primary branch for development.
