Hi Amogh, Thanks !
I agree we should have more frequent releases, but also more "predictable" release time and give visibility to the community (especially users). Some ASF projects are providing "tables" with release plans: - https://camel.apache.org/download/ - https://karaf.apache.org/download.html - https://activemq.apache.org/components/classic/download/ - ... Maybe we can provide something similar ? Thanks !
