[wildfly-dev] clarification on why Wildfly versions are increasing so quickly

[Jason Greene]

The versioning really just reflects our desire to be a bit more incremental with feature delivery, and to have a regular release schedule that encourages participation and involvement. Overall I think we are still a very mature and conservative project. As anyone who has ever submitted a contribution will tell you, we have numerous checks and reviews throughout the whole process. 

As to the actual interval, we aim to have Final releases around 6-9 months apart, although that can fluctuate depending on the feature set, and if we are absorbing say a new Java EE release.
