Looking at my own schedule I saw that this is the case, which I must say took me a bit my surprise given how recently we released 0.13...

So, for the current cycle, I suggest we patch our draft release schedule from the theoretical: / 3w\/ 2w /2|5d\ major freeze firefox release RC1 ESR | | | | | | RC2 release | | | | | ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ._._._._._._. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 To the more realistic: / 3w\/ 2w /2|5d\ major freeze ESR release RC1 backport is available | | | | firefox | | ESR is out | | | | | | | RC2 release | | | | | ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ._._._._._._. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ?? (This implies releasing two weeks later than planned, that is week 45. Also, this assumes the backport is available two weeks after ESR is released. Yeah, that's way too late, but we'll soon be able to do better.) Unless we can get some sort of promise from Mike Hommey that the next Iceweasel ESR will be backported earlier than previously, your proposal indeed seems unavoidable. To end with, given the amount of nice stuff we're currently merging into devel, I'd be sad to see this wait until December before being shipped to users, and I'm starting to wonder if we should not make the next release a major one. That could be Tails 0.14. How crazy does that sound? Not crazy at all. The release cycle/schedule we decided on was a failure, so I see no reason to stick with it. Well, failure is a bit hard, but let's say premature; once we have our infrastructure ready so we don't have to depend on external parties' timely packaging I think it'll be great to return back to. *If* we indeed choose to do this I suppose that would push the Tails 0.14 freeze date to the next Firefox ESR release date, which is October 9th (essentially two weeks from now), so: October 9th: 0.14 freeze + release of RC1. October 23th: ESR backport is (hopefully) available. October 25th: release of RC2. October 30th: release of 0.14.
