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:

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!

Chris
