We're currently looking at having 3 releases per year. The 1-month
bugfix release of 3.5 won't be a typical release cycle... we don't want
to have them that often.
As Squeak evolves and is split up into packages, we may eventually
adjust the 3 releases per year idea, too. Perhaps the kernel, for
example, would not need to change that often. We'll see how things go.
