Cut a release kit is not hard thing, It just takes 4 hours even with my
poor 64KBS uploading internet connection.
The hard part is we need to make sure the branch is ready for release.
It could be lots of work to test the snapshot to avoid cutting the
release several times.
It could be better if we can make the release branch stable for a week
to run some addition tests.
Just my 2 cents.

@Hadrian: Coming back to your proposal to have micro releases after 4 - 6
weeks (ReRo -> [1]). Originally I was thinking about to have micro releases
after 6 - 8 weeks. But I thought this is too often because of the work for
the release manager and all other people who are involved (testing the
release, ...). But may we will see more release managers in the future
(like me) and than we may can handle the work. We can start with a 6 weeks
cycle and see how it works for us. Sounds good for all of you?
