Note that neither of the points below having anything to do with semver whatsoever. In fact, the first point is the original purpose of this thread that you started, choosing a major release cadence. The second point was quoted directly from you, regarding minor point upgrades. This is the common ground we agree on and I thought we could move forward on these 2 points alone for the sake of progress. Do you have any arguments for or against the 2 points below? > On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 10:36:58PM +0000, Everett Toews wrote: >> Let’s see what we can agree on and move forward on those points. >> >> 1. 6 month major release cadence. >> >> That would mean the next releases are roughly: >> >> * 2.0.0 mid-Sept >> * 2.1.0 early-Nov >> * 2.2.0 late-Dec >> * 2.3.0 mid-Feb >> * 3.0.0 early-Mar >> >> 2.
