Right. So what we really should do instead, is this=20
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0251.html

The important parts, imho:

* "Small bug fixes and changes will occur up until the first beta release=
=2E"

* "A week before every alpha, beta or other release, we forked off a bran=
ch=20
which became the release.  Changes to the branch are limited to the relea=
se=20
manager and his designated 'bots."

Thats really the current problem. Changes happening just before the relea=
se.=20

--=20
