Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:

Let me confirm that. Since it is a security patch the entire point of it is to 
be placed in the release.

I don't want to question the reasons for doing the release from svn instead of 
from hg, but I do want to emphasize that the hg branch ought to be considered 
the master which svn should track as closely as possible.  The only reason to 
not port a patch to the svn branch would be if it was submitted to the hg 
branch in contradiction with some policy (e.g. a non-security fix to a branch 
that should only receive security fixes), and then it should probably be rolled 
back in the hg branch (and the decision to do so should be very visible on 
python-dev).
