It would be quite possible to do this, given a sufficiently-dedicated release guy pushing it. It takes about 2 months to get through mass-checks, generate good scores, etc. Unfortunately, I'm out for this job, as child #2 is about to be born any day now ;) BTW in the short term, if ppl want to help 3.3.0 release plans, I suggest trying out the SVN trunk code as "dogfood". I've been doing this for the last couple of years with very good results; I can't recall the last time I had to restart my spamd, for example, or spotted an FP... --j.
