   > What went well?
   
   We fixed many bugs quickly and efficiently
   
   It was a great team effort (we had multiple releases run by multiple 
different people - @timsaucer @comphead @xudong963  and myself 🎉 
   
   I actually also think the 53 release will be higher quality for having sat 
as a branch for a while (not immediately making a RC). While it was somewhat of 
a pain to backport PRs, that can be mostly automated and I think it gave us a 
chance to stabalize the release more. 
   
   > What could be improved?
   
   I think it would help to more explicitly focus on regression bugs (most of 
what triggered the 52 releases) -- in my mind this means
   1. Having some way to flag regressions when they are filed in issues/PRs (so 
we can find and prioritize their reviews and fixes)
   2. Making it clear that our priority is (at least my priority is) fixing 
regression bugs
   
   > What did we learn?
   
   Running these releases takes a long time
   
   > What should we commit to changing?
   
   I think we need to consider how to potentially slow down our release 
scheduled (to one major release every quarter, for example, rather than every 
month) or marking some as LTS releases where we have some way to make bug fixes 
without also new features.
