How about "Releases > need to be timed to coincide with when the code is ready to go?" Now, Wes, I understand the impulse one might have of just contradicting Brett automatically on everything he says or proposes, lately, but... Our releases have never really been timed to coincide with code. I'd say they are usually done when "well, it has been pretty stable, and we haven't done one lately, so..." or "come on, people, we have been working on this for *ages*! either we release something _now_, or we might just as likely never do it (3.0 :)". I might be mistaken, and Jordan is invited to correct me if so... But I truly think we *could* time our releases to be more event-friendly. -- Daniel C.
