Hi,

Slowly catching up on emails having been busy with some consultancy
work the last month ... this still bothers me and feels like a fudge
that needs addressing ...

Are we doing time-based releases or feature-based releases?

The original time-based release proposal thread, from where the fixed
cycle / 3-months came from, was based on having fixed-in-advance dates
from freeze to release, keeping master releaseable, Jan (I think?)
suggested fixed merge windows and keeping cherry-picking minimal, etc.
It was about releasing quickly whatever was ready in master at a point
in time.

Having a tick-tock release cycle, or publicising features in advance
before they're releaseable in master, seems to be very distinctly
different from doing that?  If we're saying that NB12 will contain X,
and X is not ready in time, what actually would happen - delay NB12 or
ship major feature X in NB12.1?!

Best wishes,

Neil
