Python 3.4.0a4: Coming In For A Bumpy Landing
3.4.0a4 is tagged and I'm in the process of releasing it. But it's going to be, let's say, more "alpha-quality" than the previous alphas.
Known problems:
- There's a reference count leak in the compiler.
- asyncio test suite sometimes times out, which takes... an hour.
- asyncio test suit fails on a couple of platforms.
I don't think any of these are bad enough to slip the schedule. However, if you disagree, pipe up, feel free to try and change my mind, it's not too late.

This is fixed, so you could just move the tag up a bit.

Unfortunately, the Windows and OS X installers have already been manufactured so we would either have to redo them or document that there is a discrepancy between the source and binary releases. Probably not a big deal in any case for an alpha release.

Ah, I didn't realize the release process had gotten that far. Carry on.
