I vote for a proper 2.1 release with everything that's supposed to break as
one big chunk.

Aka: first option.

The way short release cycles work is with a pretty strict release manager.

Do we have someone like that? The manager would have to cope with people
nagging about just that little fix that saves the world and whales, aka
"Just say no".

With timed releases it's alot easier to be able to say no, just point 
at the time schedule and it should be understood.

But we still need one.

And tests, both compatibility and regression, loads.
