Hm, I agree that we should not move the 3.26.0 release. I'm OK with
other schedule changes. But if we move 3.25.90 and change nothing else,
then we have only one week between 3.25.90 and 3.25.91. I don't think
there is much value in doing the 3.25.91 release at all in that case.
That said, my experience has been that student projects benefit from
having the fall/winter release cycle to bake in master, rather than
trying to sneak them in at the last minute. I know it's very important
to get projects committed to master, as otherwise they're liable to be
lost and discarded, but I think the ideal time for that to happen is
right *after* branching for the fall release. (Of course, students
should only pass if their work is actually committed to master before
the end of GSoC, but there's no reason that has to happen before
branching.) This means less new stuff to showcase for 3.26.0, but also
more new stuff to showcase for 3.28.0, so that seems fine to me.
