Maintenance releases
====================
+Being the last of the 2.x series, 2.7 will have an extended period of
+maintenance. The current plan is to support it for at least 5 years
+from the initial 2.7 release. This means there will be bugfix releases
+until 2015. Depending on Python 3 adoption, this may be modified up or
+down.
TBH, I would guarantee it for at least 5 years: the current wording is not
an improvement over the current situation as it basically does not tell
anything definite.
