And my local branch will remain private until 3.4.0 final ships! sorry, but this is so wrong. Is there *any* reason why to keep this branch

Yes. It ensures that nobody can check something into it against my wishes. Also, in the event that I cherry-pick revisions out-of-order, it allows me to rebase, making merging easier.
Is there *any* reason to make this branch public before 3.4.0 final?
- Python is an open source project. Why do we need to hide development for a month or more? - Not even four eyes looking at the code seems to be odd. You can make mistakes too. This seems to be a social or a technical problem. I assume making this branch available read-only would address your concerns? Does hg allow this? And if not, why not create this branch in the upstream repository, and tell people not to commit to it? Why shouldn't such a social restriction work? Seems to work well for other projects. Matthias
