There's even some debate about these (I've caught up with the thread, so
I know you've withdrawn this change).  I've been backing off the use of
release branches because they create more complexity in a world where
none of us have much time to deal with it.  For 2.3, python-dev was
really good about heeding calls for checkin freezes, and the time
between wanting to cut the release and actually doing it was pretty
short, so I don't see much need for release branches.  I updated PEP 101
to reflect this.
