+    series, it is also a transitional release, helping developers
     begin to prepare their code for Python 3.0.  As such, many
     features are being backported from Python 3.0 to 2.6.  Thus, it
     makes sense to release both versions in at the same time.  The
     precedence for this was set with the Python 1.6 and 2.0 release.
