Hi, At the Swiss QGIS user meeting yesterday there were some discussions whether people can cope with the 4 month release schedule and there were a number of users who said that this way too fast for them. By the time they could properly test a release, the next release is already there.
Bigger organizations (government organizations and bigger companies) have to test a release, package it with IT, test again. They often can't install QGIS themselves (don't have installation privileges) but have to ask IT to do it for them. This is a time-consuming process. I would propose to try a six month release cycle with two months feature freeze for testing (see also my previous mail about a request for more time for testing/bug fixing). Even a yearly release cycle would be fine, if there could be a bug-fix release. PostgreSQL has a yearly release cycle and it works really well I think - both for them as a project and for us as customers.
