Thanks in advance,

a) gentoo is not about releases.
I understand that. BUT ... it was announced long ago that there was a
quarterly release plan starting in 2005. It was followed for only one year?
b) the 1.4 release took ages.
Indeed ... and then came the apparently aborted plan to do quarterly
releases.
c) the real indicator of activity is the amount of changes in the portage
tree. And surprise! There is the usual high amount of updated, removed or new
ebuilds.
Yes, not an indicator of quality or progress, just commits.
d) if you want more releases, become a dev and join rel-eng.
I don't necessarily want more releases. I DO want to know what happened
to the release schedule.
e) if you look here you'll see that the gentoo-dev ml is as active as always
in the last couple of years.
