If this release contains any security fixes (as curl releases these days tend
to do), this could be spoiling the Christmas plans of many security people
since it gives only two working days before many companies close for the year.
I suggest bringing it in another week or waiting until the new year.
Valid point, thanks for keep our "customers" in mind!
As I like short cycles and frequent releases rather than the opposite, I then
suggest we move the release date yet another week earlier to December 12
instead and change the feature freeze date a week as well:
- Nov 21 - feature freeze (one week shorter period than normal)
- Dec 12 - release (six weeks since the previous)
And then sync up the following releases from that point with the regular 8
week cycles again:
- Jan 9 - feature freeze (for weeks since release)
- Feb 6 - release (eight weeks since previous release)
...
Of course, this is all assuming nothing major happens and we have to insert
a "panic" release at an point in this schedule!
