What happens of the Python 3.4 branch?
Hi, Python 3.5.0 was released. What happens to the 3.4 branch in Mercurial? Does it still accept bugfixes, or is it only for security fixes now? Victor

Nothing has been announced or decided. As release manager I suppose I get some say. Here, I'll propose something: Python 3.4.4 rc1 should be released on Sunday October 4th. Python 3.4.4 final should be released on Sunday October 13th. After the tag of 3.4.4, Python 3.4 should enter security-fixes-only mode, and any future releases (3.4.5+) will be source code only. How's that? //arry/

Sorry but Sunday October 13th doesn't suit me, how about Sunday October 11th or Sunday October 18th? -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language. Mark Lawrence
