with releases every 3 months several people complained that there are too many releases. I agree that 4.2 is delayed too much, ill make that release soon, just wanted to give the latest sec fixes a ~day on the ML for reviews. It does seem judging from the unhappyness with a 3months shedule and the now unhappyness with a almost 9? month that 6 month is the sweet spot. So ill aim towards maybe 5months in the future and with unexpected delays we will then achieve a 6 months release cycle. About paul doing the releases, i think the work on codecs and filters and all the surroundings that he is doing currently is more valuable. I appologize for the 4.2 release being late Thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. -- Plato
