[Python-Dev] The last Python 2.6 security release

I just updated PEP 361 (Python 2.6 release schedule).

Python 2.6 is in security maintenance, source only release mode.  Official
support for Python 2.6 expires on October 1 2013, and I would like to do one
last release[1], i.e. 2.6.9 as close to that date as possible.

I know of issue 16248, but if there are any other security issues that must be
applied to 2.6, please let me know.

Cheers,
-Barry

[1] Guido's time machine works in both directions and prevents a 2.6.10 from
    ever happening.
