It's not agreed upon, it's just what I wrote down:

http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Sandbox/philikon/foundation/maintaining-software.txt

Back when I put it up for discussion, all I got was a huge discussion 
about PEP8, which is just a small and rather unimportant paragraph. 
Unfortunately it's somewhere towards the beginning of the file. I wonder 
if anybody read any further and got to the actually important stuff. Sigh.

You can always know the minimum version. If you just released 3.4.2, I 
think it's sensible to point the next release to 3.4.3. If you later 
decide that you really need a feature release, you can always bump to 
3.5.0a1 (which would be the first release in the 3.5.x series).
