As long as we don't wait for a feature - we should be able to do frequent timely releases [master is always supporsed to be in a releaseable state :)] One issue is: we currently support only 1 previous release at a time. For faster releases - would this cause grief? [wrt users requiring frequent upgrades, and us requiring to support more releases] Satish
