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: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/d7a8738e6995ed51914fa42003c6eb750977d891603c4f0a81686203@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E If someone really wants more than 2 releases this year, then they really need to take on at least the two activities above.
