There are two things that I think are important: - don't include backwards incompatible changes in releases without a deprecation cycle (cycle should be measured in real time, not # cycles) - don't introduce new features that we aren't confident we want to support as public API
If we have strict policy about those two and releasing is automated enough that it isn't a time burden, could't we theoretically release after ever PR?
