People (and organizations) who are risk averse will just have to settle for
even-numbered micro releases.  If, as I suspect, most people get (or will
eventually get) Python from running a Windows installer or from their Linux
distribution, they will probably be blissfully unaware that odd-numbered
minor releases even exist.  Windows installers should not be created for
development releases and Linux distributions will have no business
installing a Python development release in /usr.
