[Python-Dev] Maintaining old releases

My view is that they should be closed when 2.7 and 3.1 are released.

Following another informal policy, we were going for an 18 months
release cycle at some time (2.6 clearly took longer), which would
mean that those branches get closed on March 1, 2010. Security
releases will be available until October 1, 2013.
