This is not how I do experience Debian at all. This is not "rock solid".
Python 3.13 is very fresh, no one needs it yet. I see no problem
introducing it with Debian 14 in 2027.
For my project it does not matter directly. I do support 3.13. But this
process does bind a lot of resources on Debian which could be used more
productive into other problems.
Who decide which Python version is introduced in Debian? Isn't there a
council for heavy decisions like this?
This was discussed at the Python BoF at DebConf in ROK earlier this
year. The Python team collaboratively weighs in the the pros and cons
and then tends to build consensus in order to make a decision, I don't
think there's any need for a council.
Also, bugs and ftbfs can still be fixed until very late in the freeze
cycle. Optimistically, soft freeze could start in January, that would be
about a full 3 months after Python 3.13 was released, although, since we
don't have any freeze dates set yet, I think it's quite possible that
the release team will set that a bit later in order to accommodate the
later than usual freeze announcement.
