Right, I agree - in theory - one could release even daily, if one had the
automation in place (build, package, test, etc.) to support such a desire.

However, from a practical standpoint, I don't think end users would
appreciate that approach much.

I think a four-month schedule is fine - if we can hold to it with good
quality.

Overlapping releases is a bit problematic in that it encourages developers
to focus on the future release (such as this week) versus the past one
that's not yet out.
