I vote for not slipping.   2.7.13 is out.  3.6.0 is almost out.  And it would be nice to have the others done as well.  That way, we know the whole source tree is open and can start moving forward without reservations.

Also, I would like the 3.6.0 announcement to not get drowned-out or attenuated by other announcements around older releases (i.e. it would be nice if 3.6.0 was the actual latest release of any version for a while).
