Well, there is nothing to argue against quicker release cycles. EXCEPT
the fact that a new release (not a build!) does not emerge alone, ie.
cannot be fully automated. There are things like release candidate
voting, testing (!), release notes, homepage updates, announcements.
Which takes time.
Sean and Bill have spent much much time in releasing so far (thanks!)
and many have helped to make it as easy as possible. But of course:
Any additional help is welcome!
The more volunteer helpers and testers we have, the faster we can have
our cycles.

As Howard did mention, a release plan would be good. Any volunteer who
is willing to look over the open Jira issues and classify them?
Any thoughts about future milestones?

-0.5 from my side for releasing the API/impl separately:
There is no need IMHO. API/Impl are the most important parts. So, if
there really is a showstopper, this alone would legitimate a new
release. Regardless of small bugs in one of the addons or sub
projects.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Manfred
