Dear Volker, I have a question for you. As I understood the past years, I was feeling the following principles about which tickets are getting merged into sage: - in beta and in rc0: any ticket with positive review since at least one or two days and since the last 2-3 weeks. - in early release candidates like rc1, rc2 : any ticket of type "defect" (so no new features added, only trying to fix bugs important or not important) - in late release candidates like rc3, rc4, rc5, etc. : only critical tickets solving important bugs and allowing to make sure sagemath still work on every supported platform
This time for the 9.5 cycle, I have the feeling that the early release candidates was short if not existent, leaving a bunch of positive reviewed ticket fixing bugs (important or not), but still making the 9.5 version not as optimal as it could be. For reference, here is a list of remaining tickets for milestone 9.5 including more than a dozen of positive reviewed tickets fixing a defect which did not made it yet into 9.5: https://trac.sagemath.org/query?status=positive_review&status=needs_work&status=needs_review&status=needs_info&status=new&group=status&milestone=sage-9.5 Please don't interpret this badly as I respect very much the time you put on merging everything and on the release management. And I want you to be happy to continue your very good work on this important part of the development of sage. But I would be curious to have your vision on my interpretation of these "three phases".
