I understand the need to combine changes that will trigger rebuilds of half the packages, but these cycles don't need to be > 2 weeks apart.
We already have several big hash-changing updates there, so I think we can afford it.
Real upgrades that might break stuff or need user intervention are something different of course, but once we have "stable", the need for long-running feature branches declines further I think.

Another option is to wait around a month and have it with Mesa-9.2 that should support the R600 LLVM stuff and contain many other new features (I'm not sure how much useful that will be).I would just move that to the next cycle? Just keep this one for minors and unproblematic updates.
Yes, I certainly agree with this.PS.: You seem to have replied to me only, not the list (but others can read what I cite now).
