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
^^^
I forgot the end of the sentence:
Start of N+1.0 work will be when N.10 final is released, i.e. at beginning of second week
of January.
Thanks

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
