I suspect there's a hold period, but the OVH website isn't very transparent about the process. I guess i'll just try to register every week or so.

Looks like there's a [35 day period](https://www.ovh.com/world/domains/dotorg.xml) where the domain will be reserved and pending delete, then it will become available. 

``` ~ $ import datetime ~ $ datetime.datetime(2021,6,29) + datetime.timedelta(days=35) datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 3, 0, 0) ``` So I'll come back on Aug 3 to try to register it.

There's nothing to stop someone (especially maintainers) from contributing to cheroot prior to the 3.x-only release. We can even create a `maint/8.x` branch to mirror what CherryPy has for LTS.

It occurs to me that the changes applied to the head of the repo have not always been stabilizing, so I'd like to push forward with the freeze and dropping...

I've created the [maint/8.x branch](/cherrypy/cheroot/tree/maint/8.x) to track changes that target Python 3.5 and 2.7 compatibility.
