I disagree on 'reset next' every few days as a fix to this problem. I suspect Jed will have a different objection for this reset..

It makes it harder to follow changes on 'next' (including whether certain features get fixed) and users can't simply "git pull". I think it's useful to have 'next' persist between releases (we could do more frequent feature releases).

I second more frequent feature releases. Currently we release every ~12 months. Releasing every 6 months is certainly within reach. It should also help us with finishing features up on a regular basis rather than having them in a half-done state for too long (of course I'm also referring to myself here).

As long as we don't wait for a feature - we should be able to do frequent timely releases [master is always supporsed to be in a releaseable state :)] One issue is: we currently support only 1 previous release at a time. For faster releases - would this cause grief? [wrt users requiring frequent upgrades, and us requiring to support more releases] Satish
