If a project does not have this, it may be beneficial to create an artificial one by increasing the number of releases. To this end, it may be wise to make future releases more bite-sized: 2.6 implements CMS workflow and fixes 2.4 problems. 2.8 introduces Cairo rendering. And then 3.0 can integrate GEGL. That's what we are targeting for with 2.6. It will be a short development cycle with only very few changes. But there are people waiting to be able to commit GEGL code into the GIMP tree. So we will definitely not wait with that. The transition to GEGL will take a while anyway and the user won't notice in the beginning anyway. Now, I'm not trying to be so bold as to propose a schedule, but it seems that if there were three or four releases this year - 2.4 now, then 2.6, 2.8, and maybe a 2.10 - that's roughly four months per release. Asking people to wait for the next release to include your plugin doesn't sound so severe then. The biggest burden I think would fall to the translators, which is something that developers just need to be sensitive to. Four releases per year is impractical. We wouldn't get anything done because we would be busy preparing releases all the time. Even the two releases per year schedule that GNOME is running is considered to be too short by most developers. And we can't release 2.4 now. It may even take another four months before we are there. Have a look at the bug reports on milestone 2.4. A few of them can be postponed but there are still some major ones that absolutely have to be addressed.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Color management preferences not working and other CM stuff
Hi, some of these things will be fixed for 2.4. But we can't delay the release any further and this means that color management is not going to be fully functional and usable in 2.4. We plan to have 2.6 out shortly after so I am currently postponing pretty much everything related to color management to the 2.6 release. Perhaps in the next development cycle, there will not only be people who point out problems and request features but also someone who wants to do the coding. Otherwise it might taken even longer before a full CM workflow is implemented.
