Instead, we take what is stable at the time (pushing a release if absolutely necessary to integrate well) and then cut the bundle. But, to be honest, we're still in the process of establishing a strategy ;)<br>

</div>Sure, and this is actually also what eclipse "simultaneous release" means - some projects release several times, some only at that time; but all are keeping an eye on that 1 a year big release and additional 2 bugfix releases to make sure their stuff gets done for it. in other words - without a planned "big" release nothing would actually work together ;)<br>
