Every new version (except 3.0 and 3.1) has gone to maintenance status 
*and* becomes the featured release on docs.python.org the day it was 
released.  2.7 would just spend less time as the featured release on 
that page.

docs.python.org contains links to docs to other releases, both past and 
future. There is no reason to treat 3.2 specially, or to junk up its 
pages. The 3.x docs have intentionally been cleaned of nearly all 
references to 2.x. The current 2.6 and 2.7 pages have no references to 
corresponding 3.1 pages.
