But I think we are stable and large enough to warrant date-based

Especially since we now many people are working concurrently on the

Delaying the release because a feature isn't ready means users have
to choose
between old code and apis, or potentially unstable features and
apis. Time
based releases also means new code get tested sooner in real world
conditions,
which helps improve the quality of the trunk too.
How about making this formal then, instead of ad-hoc?
We could set four quarterly milestones to release by, one every
three months.
If 0.9.1 counts as our third this year, our next would be September.
That would work if the Karmic cut-off date wouldn't be early August :) I
am all for doing the right thing for CouchDB and not anybody else's
project. But I'm really motivated to get 0.10 into the hand of the
upcoming
Ubuntu users instead of 0.9.
If we start there now, we could have releases on August 1st, November
1st,
February 1st and May 1st. These dates nicely avoid christmas season when
everyone is busy anyway.
