The time from release 7.3 to release 7.4 was 355 days, an all-time high.
We really need to shorten that. We already have a number of significant
improvements in 7.5 now, and several good ones coming up in the next few
weeks. We cannot let people wait 1 year for that. I suggest that we aim
for a 6 month cycle, consisting of approximately 4 months of development
and 2 months of cleanup. So the start of the next beta could be the 1st
of March. What do you think?
