[Python-Dev] Continuing 2.x

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

I've been sitting on the sideline seeing this unfold.
We've seen some different viewpoints on the matter and I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one lamenting the proclaimed death of the 2.x linage.
However, As correctly stated by Martin, I merely voiced a suggestion and I have gotten helpful counter-suggestions.
A private branch is fine (More correctly a fork, even, as people have pointed out) and Hg is going to support user-branches.
In the meantime, however, unless someone strongly objects, I'm probably going to set up a temporary branch off /release27-maint under /stackless/sandboxes/ until the Hg switchover.  Name undecided yet.

Cheers,
Kristján
