Yes, I'll admit I'm struggling with that part of the proposal too. We could use intermediary releases but there would always be a "more important" release. Is the "rush" at the end of the cycle still a thing those days ? From a release management perspective it felt like the pressure was reduced in recent cycles, with less and less FFEs. But that may be that PTLs have gotten better at denying them, not that the pressure is reduced now that we are past the hype peak... -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
