I see. My initial reaction was that something should be done about this;
please do bring this up on catalog-sig at python.org.

On second thought: can't you just include the source of both versions
in a single source distribution file?

If you are going to release them in lock-step, you probably want to
always release both sets of sources together; if you don't release
them in lock-step, users will get confused how to obtain the most
recent release for 3.x (say) if some version has only the 2.x release.
