I have no idea what everyone is getting worked up about. My
understanding of the plan is that there are biannual major releases,
with bug fix releases in-between, for those people/companies who need
stability/dependability.
In addition to that we have monthly 'beta' releases for those who want
the latest and greatest but know that a few things may get changed
around between the releases that break code and that there are likely to
be more bugs.
So all the passionate D devs here get their monthly releases, and the
people who want maximum stability get a biannual, LTS release along with
some bug fix releases.
I too think it's a good plan. Many new features need a few month until
they are stable.
Also the 6 month nicely match our deprecation cycle.
There is only one maintenance release in parallel to the master/beta
branch which reduces the backporting effort.
We still need automate more of the release building.
