I agree with you, especially the "good" part. Since Rakudo Star has to
work for more people than just me, I'm a little hesitant to move
quickly with it. I can't test it on Mac or Windows, for instance, but
there are users on both platforms, and having a good but old release is
probably better for them than new but broken.

However, if the community would rather I mark the current -rc1 as a
proper release, I can do that too. I just don't want to harm the
community at large.

It used to be on a three month interval, and I'd like to go to a two or
three month interval myself as well. I can try to make that happen once
I know for certain that the current release process works.
