Nothing has been announced or decided.  As release manager I suppose I 
get some say.  Here, I'll propose something:

    Python 3.4.4 rc1 should be released on Sunday October 4th.
    Python 3.4.4 final should be released on Sunday October 13th.
    After the tag of 3.4.4, Python 3.4 should enter security-fixes-only
    mode, and any future releases (3.4.5+) will be source code only.

How's that?
