The idea for quarterly releases came from a discussion on time-based releases that was probably (just checked!) my fault .. eek! :-\ https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/dcedd394e49e81b4d71e761df25021c39240c8b0cc8cfd2717aa44a0@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E Time-based is partly about reducing stress in volunteer projects by having more releases, not the other way around! :-) It was suggested based on releasing what was ready in master on a particular date, not on what features go in. Jan's comments there are good https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a97e431227e971ee3f3b7e9583cb9abc7c2baf32739bb37e772ed131@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E There was also John's suggested schedule at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/4310ebf164f8ce97f4979b9b765ba1375285b89ba7498ce5c066d0a7@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E IMO we missed fleshing that out properly and voting on it. If we stick to feature-based as on the current release page, then I wholeheartedly agree with you that two seems more realistic because you then need a lot more flexibility.
