If you have not done any updates in about 20 months, why are you paying people (with a sweepstakes ticket) for name and email?

And why put your effort into this instead of producing a much better Python3 release? In spite of efforts otherwise, 3.0 (December 2008) had some typical .0 problems. It was quickly (in 2 months) patched a bit and them abandoned, with 3.1 release soon after (June 2009, without a 3.1.2, as would have been usual) with the recommendation that everyone replace 3.0 with 3.1. Hence my opinion that promoting 3.0(.1) 18 months later is a disservice. Anyone who tries it might get an incorrect bad impression and will certainly not get the benefit of subsequent improvements.
