what about master during the phases?

I’m a little bit concerned about this since potential incompatibilities would be likely as much as longer the release time of Python 3 will be. I believe the more we can cut 2.10 and 2.11 very close to the merge of PR for py3 into master the more we stay safe. Once that might happen then I would keep 2.11 just for fixing critical issues and master for new features
