Should we start thinking about releasing 2.6.6 soonish?
By tradition, it should come out soon after 2.7 and be the last bugfix (except for security patches).
I guess what I mean is, should we have (at least) one more point release before the post-2.7 last-bug-fix-release?
Because it's a security fix? No. This issue has been sitting in the tracker for more than a year now, so it's not really relevant (IMO) whether the bug fix arrives two weeks earlier.
Partly that, yes. But also, 2.7 final is not scheduled until July, so we could fit one more release in I think. If there's no clamor for it, I'm also happy to just wait for 2.6.6 until after Python 2.7 is released. -Barry
