The current evil plan is to move to quarterly snapshot releases.
Since we're doing continuous integration and keeping The Primary Code on a production site, in theory we can make production-quality releases at any time (such as we are able); roughly every 3 months should be fast enough for the 'I want features!' crowd, hopefully!
Part of me says "yay!" and part of me says "eek!". Questions:
1. How long will security updates be available for a major release? It would suck to /have/ to make major upgrades every 3 months just to keep on the security update train. 2. Is next week going to be "rc1", or is the whole release candidate phase considered a sign of weakness ;-)
It seems that six-month cycles are all the rage now. Three month cycles are so 2002.
