With regards to the release schedule of about 3 months for minor releases and yearly for major, I have a few questions: What's the idea of "minor" and "major"? If we use Semver, "major" would allow us to make incompatible API changes, yes, with great care, and trying to avoid incompatible changes at all costs. From this point, it still confuses me what is the "major" version here, the 42 (which is supposed the major version) has been a long time with that number, even in the face of incompatible API changes, so I would believe that we should start incrementing the "real" major version. |

+1 to using real semver numbers with a format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. |

Any thoughts on the process of sorting out what makes it into the next release? |

Ok, but should bugfix releases keep postponing 42.3.0 indefinitely?
I realize everyone is doing what they can, but I think it is an
interesting question.
As far as what will go into it. That's an interesting question. I
assumed as much as possible, but this could be open for debate.
Some of the items have been lingering for many years, so I would assume
it would take some time to get things up to speed, assuming the authors
are still interested at all. Some sort of hearding is likely to be required.
Regarding RC branches... it's my experience that nobody tests them
until we release them. Again I could be convinced otherwise
That is probably true. Anyhow I think a more stationary deadline would
be a good idea. Then perhaps it would be easier to decide on what makes
it into the new version, and what doesn't.

I'd like to propose a release schedule so that people know when their PR's will be released.
I am thinking every 3 mths for minor releases and yearly for major releases.
Thoughts ?
