Hi Ismael, I am all-in favour for frequent releases. Sooner is always better. Unfortunately, I won't have bandwidth to volunteer for a release in December. If someone else volunteers to be RM prior to this timeline, I would be happy to ceed the RM role to them but in the worst case scenario, my offer to volunteer for Jan release could be considered as a backup.
