I mentioned this to Guido and got a positive response, so let me state my preference for your feedback. I plan on holding up the final releases until both versions are ready to go. I think this will help motivate us to give Python 2.6 the love it needs if it's lagging behind 3.0, and I completely agree with Guido that this let's our community know that both versions are equally important to us.
It's a deal.
The other thing is that I'd really like is a "show stoppers" Roundup search. The idea is that if our core buildbots look good and the "show stoppers" search turns up no items, then I know I can cut a release (at least for alphas, betas, and rcs). If there are "show stoppers" then I have something that I can triage (and maybe re-assign severity) or start publicly harassing people into fixing.
How about using the "critical" Severity for show stoppers? -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
