Maybe the audio channel layout would be nice to settle before?
IMHO we should merge changes which afftect a lot of existing
functionality
after a release, not before.
Why? The change should be backwards compatible and not affect existing
callers. And having the new API in would allow them to start migrating
to it.
Because a 300 patch patchset ought to contain errors which should not be
present in a release. Also it kind of locks us up with the API with no
possibilty to even slightly change it if needed.
In general, once an API is pushed you have at most a few days to make
breaking changes to it (including reverting). Ymmv, but it would not
make much of a difference since cutting the 5.0 branch could then be
done a week after the API is pushed.
Point releases can and are always made to fix issues and regressions
that may arise. And I've noticed that most bugs are detected once
rolling release distros grab a new tarball anyway.

Marton
