What announcement would you have liked?  Base developers can't promise
that 3.15 won't break your machine :)

Ah, what is in a name?

3.14.x, aka "stable".  The workhorse of the past decade+.  Many
facilities using.  No longer getter new features (unless someone twists
Andrew's arm).  Still getting bug fixes.

3.15.x, aka "current".  Some API breaks wrt. 3.14.  Almost all major
modules updated at this point.  Getting some minor features (as Ralph's
arm is twisted), and bug fixes.  In use at ITER and FRIB that I know of,
probably others.  Recommended for new facilities.

3.16.x, aka "development".  No "production" release yet, though this
will happen soon (after which point my arm will need twisting).  Some
API breaks wrt. 3.15.  Most modules build without change.
