What about having a different release cycle for the stdlib, and shipping Python in two distinct releases:
- Python : core + stdlib - Python-Stdlib : stdlib
The Python release would remain unchanged, but its cycle would be longer (as the moratorium seems to imply).
I don't think the moratorium should imply any longer release cycle. Many improvements aren't of the kind that the moratorium aims at freezing. We could actually make the whole release cycle shorter, knowing that releases will be less disruptive.
Exactly. Since with the moratorium in effect, we are basically changing *nothing but* the stdlib, it has its own release cycle already :)
Great then ! how long the release cycle should be then, in your opinion ? Tarek
