Some months sounds pretty big to me. Once the current beta is released, I'd be great to see some updated release schedule. We have just updated the main Python version Fedora 37 to 3.11 and we have some deadlines I'd like not to miss. https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-37/f-37-key-tasks.html 2022-08-23 - Fedora 37 Beta Freeze 2022-10-04 - Fedora 37 Final Freeze It would be really great to get something ABI stable at Beta Freeze and at least an RC at the Final Freeze. If that is not realistic, we would need to consider a revert. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/EP37TDGLFXE6TKQH6YBIQWSUGKWHC32U/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
