+1 to both a 6-month release interval and to soon announcing a date for 
the last maintenance release that is no later than 2015.  As Georg 
points out, though, there undoubtedly will be pushback on that so we 
should make sure we have a good story for what happens after that date 
and we start communicating it in plenty of time.   An important of that 
is emphasizing what will be available on Python 3.x by then and figuring 
out what to do about any important missing pieces, e.g. key third-party 
components not yet ported.
