Not really, just a thought in order to stick with the June/December cycle...but not really an important argument.
If we want to stick with the half-yr cycles, we need to schedule the next release for around March/April next yr. Thoughts?That's one option. The other option is to stick with the plan and catch up, as Christian Theune proposed. It would mean getting very unambitious, but perhaps that isn't a bad idea. The idea of a release is to have a reasonably stable, known-good version of the trunk, and it doesn't matter that much how much the trunk changes. Anyway, if the main thing holding up *this* release is bugfixes, doing a new release in 3 months shouldn't be a problem, as after all, we've already fixed those bugs this time around. :)
3 month for a new release cycle is just too short. We should not follow the IMO broken concept of "release early, release often" but to follow "releaseregular, release solid". At least me I refuse to release something just for the sake of making a release at a certain date.
