Past 2.7.9, will you make 2.7.10 etc, or does that violate other policies?

What will a lack of provided installers do to Windows support? It's
easy enough on Linux to say "either build it from source, or let your
upstream package provider build it for you", but AIUI, most Windows
users want to get a ready-made binary.

Apologies if these questions were answered at the Summit. Montreal's
treatment of thirty-person-parties at one hour's notice may or may not
be considered a bug to be fixed in 2.7, but its geographic barrier to
Australians is definitely a feature addition. And will need to be
thoroughly bikeshedded on -ideas before implementation (can the time
machine be used to travel in relative dimensions in space?)
