Another factor to be careful of is that by committing a new feature in a release cycle, you actually need to think about the extra amount of resources you may need to address comments and issues about it in time during the beta/stability period, and that more care is likely needed if you commit something at the end of the cycle. On top of that, currently, that's a bit hard to plan one or two weeks ahead if help is needed to stabilize something you worked on. I am pretty sure that we'll be able to sort things out with a collective effort though. -- Michael
