We can, but should we? You have two points, "better test suite and/or automation" and "more frequent releases", but I don't see the clear connection between them. Think about Jackrabbit 1.4 and tell me how a better test suite would have noticeably expedited the release? The same applies for automating the release process. The release schedule is driven by features to be included in the release and not constrained by lack of automation or testing. What you seem to really be proposing here is not increased automation but a change in our releasing strategy from feature-driven to time-driven. I'm willing to debate the merits of that, but let's be clear on what we are discussing about. BR, Jukka Zitting
