Well, I saw this recent mail from Antoine:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/108766.html

where he mentioned


- on one hand: 2.5 -> 2.6 -> 2.7 (if you still want to maintain 2.5)
- on the other hand: 3.1 -> 3.2 -> default

and perhaps misunderstood. I was assuming that there wouldn't be any 2.6  
releases from Mercurial, perhaps that assumption was unwarranted.

Also, the section on forward-porting in the Dev Guide says "it should be applied 
to the oldest branch applicable" and this could be interpreted to mean 
applicable based on the content of the branch, rather than according to release 
policy.
