Well, let me say this.  I haven't been added to any apocalyptic 3.5 bugs 
recently.  If Steve says he's not seeing novel bugs, and Laura says 
she's seeing a steady trickle of people reporting the same bugs that 
have already been fixed, then it seems like a good time to cut 3.5.1.

3.5 does have a single issue on the tracker marked as a "release blocker":

    smtplib.py AUTH LOGIN code messed up sending login and password data
    since 3.5

    http://bugs.python.org/issue25446

R. David Murray set it to "release blocker", and I trust his judgment, 
so 3.5.1 can't go out until this is fixed.  I'll engage with him on the 
issue to see about when we can get a fix.

If I didn't have any release blockers, I'd schedule 3.5.1 for sometime 
around three weeks from now.  And FYI I want to release 3.4.4 about two 
weeks after that.
