I think in future, it may be good to paste snippets of clarifying IRC conversation into the mail thread. I was wondering, whether the dates you marked you proposed in "RFC: change to 6 months release cycle" (see http://markmail.org/message/hcp4wifaybk4vtkk#query:+page:1+mid:veqxur64wrwi ni73+state:results for entire conversation) with release dates at the beginning of June and December according to the new scheme hold (meaning that the 4.7 release will follow a 6+2 month cycle or probably more along the lines of 5.5+2.5), or whether maybe we gradually move to the new scheme over two releases (4.7 and 4.8 to follow 5+2 and subsequently 4+2). No strong opinion, just something I'd like to know. We should probably also write a blog post and update/create information on the wiki. Am willing to volunteer to put the latter together.
