I don't have any voting power, just want to express my +1 towards that change ... and indeed I don't see the advantage of the RC release. If users don't provide feedback, bug fix doesn't happen ... what are the advantages of having the RC release ?

+1. It does seem that we are not getting much benefit from waiting until RC to branch, and any fix would be applied to master and the new stable before the .0 release. We could drop the RC altogether. The current procedure incurs not only a delay but also the work of an extra release (the RC).

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi (apologies for the cross post),
I would like to hear opinions on changing the release procedures slightly,
and cutting the stable
branch directly on the beta release.

The reason for not doing the cut on beta but on RC originally was to push
devs to concentrate
on bug fixing.
However, since then we have shortened the beta life to just two weeks, we
are not getting significant
feedback from users (which typically starts flowing in on .0 or even .1
releases), and the bug fixing activity
is rather small (I try to do it anyways, but find myself fixing old bugs,
not new ones).

I've also noticed that I routinely created short lived forks of master to
keep on working on my daily job.
Wondering, am I the only one?

If not, or if others don't mind anyways, wouldn't it be better to just cut
the stable branch on beta instead?

Cheers
Andrea
