Very likely, yes.

Not at this time.  We should be focusing on the 3.8 release.
I think a 3.6.x release now would be misleading, since we don't
have time to comb through all the security fixes that were in
3.7, so I think it'd be better to declare the 3.6 branch dead.
(After all, 3.7.1 is over a year old at this point.)
