Thanks @Flavio for the initiative. +1 on the idea of "3.6.0-alpha" release plans.
Just a thought - I'm not sure, whether multiple on going alpha versions(3.5.x-alpha and 3.6.x-alpha) could create confusion to the users. I'd prefer to make 3.5.x to a beta or a stable version first, then release 3.6.x-alpha soon. I agree to kick start release planning of "3.6.0-alpha" and discuss tentative release dates so that it would help the committers/contributors/users to push their interested work.
