It's a possibility. To be honest, I didn't envision us releasing a 3.0.2 rather
than focusing on 3.1 (which, as others said, can be released in a few months if
we keep the amount of changes under control).

But then it's only a matter of naming. We can continue the 3.0.x series and
incorporate in them whatever was initially planned for 3.1 (including the
IO-in-C branch, the dbm.sqlite module, etc.), and release 3.1 only when the
whole thing is "good enough".
