Heya! Now that 2.3.x is in maintenance mode, I'd like to start a discussion on 2.4. We've long agreed that a more frequent cadence of minor releases is superior to a long gap between them. I think we should target a 2.4.0 release sometime before the end of the calendar year, perhaps the first weeks of December.
Hopefully the workload for the next release manager isn't as high as it was for 2.3, given that much of the test stabilization effort happened on branch-2. However, we are running in a new jenkins environment, and entropy is nothing if not persistent, which puts that hard-won stability back into doubt. Thus, I think it would be good if we can start sooner than later. Would anyone like to volunteer to run the 2.4 release line? The level of effort is admittedly non-negligible: (1) stabilize branch-2 (2) test new-for-branch-2 features (3) run initial release (4) cut monthly patch releases until 2.5 is out. I have a strong interest in seeing this release through, so I volunteer to assist with these activities. Thanks, Nick
