It's not difficult to actually cut the release.  What is a pain is  
managing all the bugs leading up to it.  If we announce that we're  
going to do a 3.0.2, people who thought 3.0 was dead may ask for their  
favorite bug fix to be backported, etc.

If we're going to do one, then we'll need to schedule it and give  
people a chance to actually commit to it for a few weeks.  We may even  
need to do release candidates.

TBH, I'm not sure there's enough interest in doing it.  We're not  
recommending people actually /use/ 3.0, and I know for one data point  
that Ubuntu doesn't care.
