[rules-dev] [Proposal] Better release process: 2) 5.3.0.Beta1 in 6 weeks from now (5-AUG)

[Geoffrey De Smet]

If we do more releases, the releases process will become easier and 
maybe even a non-event.
At least, I believe that paradox :)

Here's what I propose:
- For the next 4 weeks, until 22-JUL, we focus on big, risky features.
- The 2 weeks after that, until 5-AUG, we focus on bugfixing and /avoid 
risky changes/.
On 5-AUG, I release 5.3.0.Beta1 directly from master.
If needed, we can call it 5.3.0.Alpha1 instead.

This will allow our users to verify backwards compatibility and new 
features sooner
and give us feed-back sooner.

What do you think? Good idea or too ambitious?

Geoffrey De Smet
