The Eclipse top-level project will not deliver full milestones as outlined below as this would be way too much overhead for the team.
We will only submit the bits (latest I-build) to week 3 and 9. For those we will neither have a milestone week nor do any testing nor provide an N&N. For week 6 we will deliver a complete milestone as we used to in the old world. And a minor correction: "The releases will occur end of ..." is wrong. Correct is what's in the FAQ: "The releases will occur near the middle of ...".

After Photon, we will move from a 1 year release cycle to a 13 weeks cycle. The releases will occur end of June, September, December and March each year. There are many different motivations to update the release cadence. The main ones are: * Ease the update from one release to another for the end user * Let developers provide new features faster to their users * Simplify the maintenance by keeping only one stream for contributors The release cycle would be : M1 Friday Week 3 M2 Friday Week 6 M3 Friday Week 9 RC1 Friday Week 10 : API & Feature freeze RC2 Friday Week 11 : Only fixes, all code is done by the end of RC2 GA Wednesday Week 13 Due to this rolling release, our yearly code name pattern does not make sense anymore.
