I like that you're doing this. But as others have said, I think
the release schedule is too long. Iain has already been
complaining several times that the releases is taking too long
time. It gets hard them to merge the changes to GDC. I guess
LDC has similar problems.
I assume there still is the possibility of bug-fix-releases
between the major releases?
The 6 month cycle for *major* releases, means 6 months until a
release which might break your code. Less for minor bug fix
releases.
The Linux kernel has an 8 week cycle, but they aim for
forever-backwards-compatible.
