Yes, and the common practice today is to make a full new release.

Looking at when `cp314` wheels were added to the [top 15k packages](https://hugovk.dev/top-pypi-packages/):

| Metric | Value | % of packages | % of cp314 releases |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Packages scanned | 15,000 | 100% | - |
| Ship `cp314` wheels (rest are pure-Python / abi3) | 1,094 | 7.29% | - |
| Releases with `cp314` wheels | 7,958 | 53.05% | 100% |
| Distinct packages doing late additions | 65 | 0.43% | 0.82% |
| Releases where `cp314` added late (\>1 day post-publication) | 69 | 0.46% | 0.87% |
| Late additions \> 3 days | 65 | 0.43% | 0.82% |
| Late additions \> 7 days | 60 | 0.40% | 0.75% |
| Late additions \> 14 days | 56 | 0.37% | 0.70% |
| Late additions \> 1 year | 10 | 0.07% | 0.13% |
| Median late gap / Max late gap | 106d / 1,332d | - | - |

| Rank | Packages |
| --- | --- |
| Top 100 | 0 |
| 101–1,000 | 3 |
| 1,001–5,000 | 14 |
| 5,001–15,000 | 48 |
