I'm against having a release on Friday.
Just look at the BugfixArchive: There's a lot of stuff pending, which really needs to be included. And my feeling is, that there's just not enough "new" stuff in 3.6 to allow a new release: Like 3.5, we'd get a "new release" nobody would use.
Agree as I mention in one of my early emails. 3.6 should be sexy in terms of new stuff/clean/improvements. Let us make it really sexy.
Hmmm. And then people - WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS WHEN THE 3.6 PLAN WAS POSTED???
He, I couldn't help myself, sorry for the shouting. ;-) But I really mean it. We agreed on the plan. And one of the things we wanted to do is to have faster release cycles than before - we are aiming for 3 releases per year IIRC.
There will ALWAYS be stuff to harvest. There will ALWAYS be cool new stuff to add. But we need a proper beta and gamma period.
Personally I think we should stick to the plan but move the beta start a few days so that NewLook, TTF and Simulatorfixes can get in.
IMHO SM1.1 can wait until early 3.7. Even if it breaks my heart to admit it. :-)
