Do you have documentation on this process? I would be happy to read it
and ask questions you feel may be better. As an open source project I am
surprised about the lack of transparency for various things.
I have opinions yes, but I also try to understand those of others which
is what prompted the questions. Not sure how asking questions to better
understand of a process/project is disrespectful if you could clarify
that would be great.

You are correct its not my process, but I am still curious as to the
rationale which is just a question that was not answered. Nowhere did I
suggest, or imply, that it should be changed.
And how do you define crappier releases? If something is stable enough
that the development team decide to mark a release that is up to them,
not you which is similar to what you noted about this being *your*
process, that is *theirs*.
Wow you sure are opinionated.
We as a team make releases every 6 months like clockwork.
Anything else is none of your business. Your line of commentary is
showing a distinct lack of respect, and I kindly propose you get
stuffed.

Could you please explain the logic behind this as I am confused. Is this
due to an inefficient process, technical limitation, or other reason
(lack of manpower doesn't qualify as that seems self inflicted by the
project)? Are you somehow tracking submissions to take care of when this
unlocked so people don't waste their time needing to resubmit them?
Our process. *OUR* process. This is not your process. Meaning it
isn't your decision.
While they may exist I know of no other project, including OS, that halt
development like this for long, if at all, to do a release. Again, they
may exist I just don't know of any and find the process awkward and
confusing.
Other projects split their developers between "making the release" and
"working on the future", and as a result they take a long time to make
crappier releases.
That's their choice.
It is not our choice.
It is *NOT YOUR CHOICE*, and you don't have standing to comment.
