If we do more releases, the releases process will become easier and
maybe even a non-event.<br>
At least, I believe that paradox :)<br>
<br>
Here's what I propose:<br>
- For the next 4 weeks, until 22-JUL, we focus on big, risky
features.<br>
- The 2 weeks after that, until 5-AUG, we focus on bugfixing and <i>avoid
risky changes</i>.<br>
On 5-AUG, I release 5.3.0.Beta1 directly from master.<br>
If needed, we can call it 5.3.0.Alpha1 instead.<br>
<br>
This will allow our users to verify backwards compatibility and new
features sooner<br>
and give us feed-back sooner.<br>
<br>
What do you think? Good idea or too ambitious?<br>
