I mentioned this several months ago but I'll float it again. Perhaps the even numbered releases could be dedicated to bug fixes. The bug averse could then avoid all of the "odd" releases. That, and the flagship release (r1) for the year could always include a bunch of new features.

Oh boy, do I second that. The problem with the current rapid release
paradigm is that bug fixes from new release don't surface until the
next major release. Waiting a few months isn't the real problem. The
real problem is that the new version almost always introduces other
issues that work fine in the previous official release.

A bug fix release would be a real good idea, IMHO.


Thirded!
