Please review so we can send it out in 48 hours.

Hi Angelos,
Thanks for kick starting the process.
Before we start the build process for 7.5, I suggest we discuss the
question:
"Has OSGeo-Live reached a level of maturity where it would be best
served by annual releases instead of 6 month releases"?
The logic behind this question is:
1. OSGeo-Live is orders of magnitude larger than a few few releases,
which 3 times as many applications, and with each application
maintaining more documentation, as well as maintaining multiple
translations.
2. As such our critical mass for turning over a release requires more
effort than before.
3. However, the good news is that the quality and stability of
OSGeo-Live applications has improved substantially, and as such I'd
argue that releases don't need to be turned over as often.
