We could aim for a release two months after the > merge to allow for minor fixes after the merge. I think agreeing on and following a release schedule is the crucial part. Both for how frequently core team branch is merged (aspirationally) as well as how long (roughly) after the merge the release is made. I propose that we have a time-based release model rather than a feature-based one (similar to the Linux kernel). However, what's perhaps even more important is to have a release model that we adhere to. -- Suhail
