Those release schedule PEPs are mainly a TODO list leading up to the 
2.x.0 releases, though - there's a new one for each major version bump:

PEP 160 - Python 1.6
PEP 200 - Python 2.0
PEP 226 - Python 2.1
PEP 251 - Python 2.2
PEP 283 - Python 2.3
PEP 320 - Python 2.4
PEP 356 - Python 2.5
PEP 361 - Python 2.6

Cheers,
Nick.
