  I don't object to the final release being in April instead of January, =
though I'm not sure that the additional release really means we need to =
do that.  But FWIW I'm in favor of Option 3 / calling 19.4 the final =
release.  :-)

  My sense is that there was consensus on hawkowl's proposal except for, =
I think:

	1- Should we drop the idea of a 2.7 maintenance branch?
	2- It seems we need to fix the bug in twisted.names first.
	3- Choosing a final 2.7 release date.

there isn't some urgency at this point, but it seems like the January 1 =
date is essentially an arbitrary deadline without a clear connection to =
