Subject: Periodical releases
Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2011 13:00:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACY+HvoGivWbb8qE=C1fLZjkyasS2rz1sZW-AEkG5gsV5Ua9ZA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Did the Emacs maintainers ever consider introducing a time based
release process?

I've been prompted to ask this because of the recent Org merge
discussion.

Maybe 2 or 4 releases as a minimum per year with less major
changes in each? That would have made the concerns in the
Org merge thread moot, wouldn't it?

It's even possible to have a 1 or 2 weeks merge window with
4 weeks of stabilization and no other merges.

To some on the list this may seem familiar from other projects
they contribute to.
