I think we should document our intentions in the release PEP (or some other PEP possibly). Should we state that we will support version x.y for N years after initial release or based on version numbers such as x.(y-N) where y is the current version and N is a small number? I'd prefer the time based approach because it seems much more common. For reference here are some release dates: 2.2: 2001-12-21 2.3: 2003-07-29 2.4: 2004-11-30 If we stopped supporting 2.3, that would mean we support for 2-3 years. n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
