Hi everyone,

The Python 2.6.6 announcement is going out in a few minutes.  First, thanks to
*everyone* who helped make this a great release.

Second, this is just a reminder that Python 2.6 is now in security-fix-only
mode.  There will not be another maintenance release, so please, while the
tree is thawed, only security critical patches to release26-maint are
allowed[1].  If in doubt, contact me on irc and use the bug tracker (make it a
release blocker issue as usual).  You can also discuss the issue on
security at python.org if you need a more private forum.

From now on Python 2.6 will be released source-only.

Thanks again!
-Barry

[1] svnmerge blocks are of course still allowed, as are Martin's Windows
bookkeeping updates.
