I disagree. It does seem annoying that when we finally release 4.0.7, 4.0.8
is pretty much ready for its own QA round but I thought about this a lot
and I think it's better than the alternatives. It allows us to release a
more stable version and it's not such a big deal because 4.0.8 will take a
long time to finish QA anyway. Most people I talk to *don't* like having to
upgrade every month or two. Even three month releases is relatively tight
for them so I think the amount of releases we are doing right now is pretty
good.
Speaking of 4.0.7, I think it's time for RC3 and then a quick release :)
Anyone have anything to commit before that?
