I suggest that those who're most in favor of more than 2 releases can start
making it happen right now -- evaluate some of the pull requests:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pulls

And help resolve the 600+ broken tests related to the introduction of
Graal.js parser:

If someone really wants more than 2 releases this year, then they really
need to take on at least the two activities above.
