[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change of XS Cycle strategy to account for Christmas

Hi devs, Some devs mentioned it’s too hard to release the N.11 release since it happens around Christmas every year. Here’s a proposal: * Shorten the cycle to 11 releases instead of 12. * Release N.9 at end of Nov * Release N.10 at end of first week of Jan. Note: N.10RC1 would be released mid December (about 17th of Dec to have 3 weeks of RC). * Release N+1.0 at end of February. Start of N+1.0 work Pros: * No release during Christmas, yeah :) * More time to prepare the first LTS bugfix release, i.e. N.10.1, which can be done during the month of January. * More time for the first released of N+1 (i.e. N+1.0). This is important since that’s the release where we can do heavy refactoring and it’s not bad to get some more time. Cons: * One less release WDYT? Do you see other cons? Thanks -Vincent
