Hi! One of the policy mistakes that was killing MySQL 5.0, back in the day, is that they would not make a point release until a target feature for that point release was done. This was killing them/us, because of the standard difficulties with estimation was causing every announcement to just be the announcement of a delay, while users were waiting for bug fixes and for proof of momentum.
Solaris and OpenSolaris had a different philosophy: they released regularly, metronomically, by a schedule. Features that were not ready "missed the train", but could catch the next one. Users got their regular bug fixes, and each announcement was positive. I propose that we move to a scheduled release model, with the addition of security fast releases. I'm thinking every two weeks, on Tuesday morning. Discussion? Comments? Objections? thank you! ..m
