What on earth is going on with release scheduling?
Two words: volunteer project
I would propose to do away with the release schedule altogether, or make
it very succinct;
next release: when it's done.
What? Isn't that the Linux kernel schedule?
Give me a break. The OpenBSD team of volunteers makes a new release
every six months, with target release dates in May and November. I
can't recall a slip of even one day. I know, this isn't OpenBSD, but
it proves that a regular release schedule is indeed possible.
also remember that 6.4 was being worked on at the same time. there's only a
finite number of people to spread across both projects. finalization of 7.1
should come faster as 6.4 has been released
