In short, the idea of strongly calendar-driven releases looks more
and more attractive to me the more times we go through this process.
If your patch isn't ready on date X, then it's not getting into this
release; but there'll be another bus coming along before long.
Stretching out release cycles to get in those last few neat features
just increases the pressure for more of the same, because people don't
know how long it will be to the next release.
I hope that that policy will not be applied without some degree of
discrimination.
If we are to have time based releases, then I assume it won't, it will
be pretty much a hard and fast rule.
I admit I haven't been a fan in the past, but I can see advantages, not
least being predictability of release times. It would be nice to be able
to say "In June" when asked when the next release will be, as I often am.
