Updated to include PEP 602 and newer estimates of millions of Python users.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the PR @E-Paine. While I'm on-board with the change to the release schedule and rough estimated users part, I don't think the changes for comp.lang.python and com.lang.python.announce are particularly useful or maintainable. The idea of the numbers on postings are to give an incredibly rough estimate, and it adds an unnecessary maintenance burden to continuously lower or increase it based on the most recent activity. So I think those parts are fine as they are.

Thanks for making the recommended changes! It looks good to me now, I'll proceed with merging (with a slight adjustment to the title in the commit message to make the changes more clear). |

Also, back porting to 3.9 and 3.8 so it's in the latest versions of the documentation on docs.python.org. |

This is a very trivial set of changes that updates a few pieces of information on the "general" FAQ page. I did not deem it worth an issue, so I hope this is noticed by someone.
