2. Somewhere, it should state that the goal is for the typical
deprecation cycle for a symbol to last approximately two years
and that the number of releases was picked on the assumption
that we would have approximately 5 - 6 major releases a year.
So, if at some point in the future, the typical number of
releases in a year changes for whatever reason, the number of
releases of the deprecation cycle should then be adjusted so
that the deprecation cycle stays approximately two years long.
At the moment we have a clear bi-monthly release cycle (1st of
every odd month).
In the long-run I'd like to transition to one major releases
every 6 months and strictly non-breaking, non-deprecating point
releases every 2 months. So far there wasn't much interest in the
necessary development adjustments though.
