I think it would be better to figure out how we want the release process to look like as soon as possible and not wait until we have enough changes for a proper release.
The first thing we should have done after the 2.060 release was to figure out a new release process. Then when we're actual want to make a real release we already have the new process figured out and it won't be a problem.
A release with the new process should be made as soon as possible.

It hasn't even been a month since the last release and activity has been low
enough that I really don't see any point in doing another release right now -
especially since the beta stuff _isn't_ properly automated yet, so it seems to
take a fair bit of Walter's time to deal with it. That and we need to iron out
how we're going to deal with branching and the beta, since it definitely looks
like we should be moving to a model where we branch for betas. If we actually
take the time to sort that out for the next beta like we should, then that
means that the beta will take that much more work (though it will mean less
work for future betas - particularly if the release process is properly
automated like Andrei keeps asking for). So, it seems completely counter-
productive to do a beta right now.
