The cost of the overhead is paid by volunteers - there is no *need* to release every month. But if someone is so concerned that a few features have not made it in this release that are important - there is no reason not too as well - given that the person is willing to roll the release.
Releases take 3 +1s - I'll give my +1 as often as someone puts artifacts in front of me and I have time to verify them. The worry of releasing TOO much is so premature it's not even funny :) Sent from my iPad On May 28, 2011, at 1:25 AM, "David Smiley (@MITRE.org)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Clearly a year+ is too long to release, and thankfully it appears that's in > the past for Lucene/Solr.
