By the policy you propose, we could not have released 2.6 in October 2008, which we really really wanted to because Apple wanted us to.
I don't think the 2.6 release date is relevant to this discussion, since 3.x hadn't been released at all at that point. What I want to avoid is people writing new code for 2.7 instead of 3.1 because they want to take advantage of a nifty new feature that 3.1 doesn't have.
But 3.1 is in feature freeze (py3k trunk) and it is not possible to check-in code for 3.2. Following this policy it would mean a feature freeze on trunk for an indefinite period of time.
And that's what we want to avoid, so we are discussing 3.2. -- Regards, Benjamin
