acting as the devils advocate, one good thing about the current release model is that we have stable (i mean _STABLE_) 1.6.10 product for people who look for solid application rather than new whistles and bells crashing just around the corner. this is impossible with 6 month release cycle. looking around there is a habit in some projects to have some stable releases with longer maintenance (linux kernel, ubuntu if we speak about something big). we could, for example, have feature release as a short term maintenance and format release for a long term maintenance. pavel
