Note that this (theoretical: I don't think Apple will update Python,
but that aside) discussion is purely about incorporating Python micro
releases. These are supposed to be fully 100% backward compatible, to
the point that any bugs which people might conceivably see as a feature
are not fixed. I don't think I've ever heard reports of a Python micro
release causing anyone any problems (except for the occasional
situation where a release is pulled after a short while because of
problems, as happened with 2.3.1).
