I am rather amazed by the idea of 4.1.4, shouldn't we release
4.2.0 instead? I mean ...
- I thought the idea behind 4.1.3 was to make a quick fix for
4.1.2 and to give more time for the 4.2.0 release process.
- the code in trunk has over two years of development and is
more secure than what lives in the 41* branch. It is rather
disappointing to not see the code out sooner.
I believe you should continue as Release Manager for 4.1.4,
or 4.2.0; the changes for 4.1.3 will already have to be
included in future releases and we could benefit from the
momentum of the dot release. Your vacations should also
not be a problem as other people are likely to be in
vacations during December as well.
I still think we should put more QA effort into a 4.2.0 as we have
changed to many things. I cannot remember anymore which libraryies we
have changed in the last time. So, at least this is a risk in my eyes
that deserves much more attention.
Up to now I think tests where done here and there, e.g., when using a
4.2.0 dev build for daily tasks. But I would like to see more efforts
for deeper tests before release this.
So, a fast 4.1.3 and a 4.1.4 still this year *and* then a 4.2.0 for the
beginning of next year (new year, new game ;-) ) would be a nice
outlook. And as an additional advantage - when we agree on this - this
roadmap that can be published, too. *)

Discussing a topic here on a public mailing list does *not* mean that it
is automatically published.
It's the result of a discussion that can be declared published (here on
this mailing list) or made published (e.g., with a blog post). I think
I'm not the only one who makes a fine but clear difference bewteen
"something is public" and "something is published". Just wanted to
mention this. ;-)
