Hi Stephen, Thanks for the insights - we have been struggling with how we want to the release process to look and at our last face to face we came up with a quarterly release schedule. This seems basically unfeasible though, so I can't see us staying with it. You nailed it right with these comments:

It was mostly driven by rapid evolution in features, which is I > guess a characteristic of the early phase of big open source projects. I think both are quite true of the opencast community! Of course, as much as I like to play dictator, a release only gets done with the consent (or rather, lack of objection) of the committer body. So I don't imagine committers would let me get away with releasing a non-distributable version of Matterhorn (and rightly so). But it might beat out of the bushes some people to help address the problem, if it is actually still a problem!
