The squeezing of the releases isn't where the problem is, I think. It's that, once squeezed, more releases aren't being added to compensate. We really need to determine what time we need to go from beta1 to (gamma|rc)1, and then from (gamma|rc)1 to final. Plenty of interim releases in the beta phase is good. -Fred -- Fred L.
