This actually sounds like a real and interesting reason to have stable
Python 3.4 out in march. Ubuntu 14.04 is a LTS, which makes it an important
version for corporate distributions.

In addition, other major projects align themselves with released versions
of Python. For example Django - I would love to see trunk Django formally
support Python 3.4 ASAP.
