Because of a glitch in the release process that wasn't noticed until
just after the release, and because it was not seen as serious enough
to withdraw until redone.

The main development line for Python *is* the future 2.4a0 release.
Some or most bug-fix only patches (including doc patches) were
backported to the 2.3 maintainance branch (of CVS repository) to make
this release.  Somehow, one thing too many got backported ;-).
