Thanks for starting this thread, Wangda! +1 for establishing a faster cadence now itself.
One word of caution though. The same I expressed while we were trying to do both 2.8 and 3.0 releases at the same time. Please try avoiding concurrent releases and splitting community bandwidth - it's not that we cannot do multiple releases in parallel, it's mainly that we will not be able to give our best on both.
