+1 We don¹t have the capacity to have two active branches. So I¹m all for
that.
We could look at it another way. Let¹s say the maintenance releases are
for hot fixes only. Things that users are really complaining about.
Hopefully there are only a few of those. Regular bugs would go on master
only. And we would release the hot fixes any time, just as we did for
9.2.2. We would just roll up the latest hot fix release in with Oxygen.1.
I still worry whether we have the capacity to do features at three month
intervals and whether our users and vendors have the capacity to deal with
new feature releases that often. I just feel six months is more practical
and is a common cadence we see in other projects (e.g. Ubuntu). But I can
be persuaded by your (the committers') confidence in making it work :)
