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.
Excellent.
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?
'critical' is fine (or 'immediate'). My problem before was that I couldn't do one query that gave me all the critical issues for both 2.6 and 3.0. That certainly could have been pebkac though. Neal mentioned that that kind of query should be possible, if it's not already there. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBR92xb3EjvBPtnXfVAQLZGQP+O+FQwlXDXAT5lz+DKPer7+5n9ivy/YmD 94RYUnHEsVLA5aWpZB0O23/wVavS5FdUfJxuCvMOwHhZ6i58GHF4i6gfrtWDefX7 BWSfm82rIOAw/UX10JiUpkPp7vRlqfPdPOteqzFq0yo0vM49HOqFOL5fIU02MbRj unVdo8uYJ5c= =SB9I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
