Hi Jon,

I haven't been able to post to gentoo-releng since it always thinks
I'm spoofing.  I know what the problem is but haven't been able to fix
it yet.  (I've written about 10 emails over the past month because I
keep forgetting they'll bounce)

Would you mind passing this on for me, then responding?  :-)

Thanks,
Aron

My perception of the current release process is this: We set a date
for release.  Developers work on features.  Whatever is done in time
for the release is what goes in, the other stuff waits for the next
release.  IMHO, part of the point of doing more frequent releases is
to ease pressure from developers; if we can't finish a given feature,
then we know there will be another release in 3 months, so it's okay.

So I don't understand this list of potential features for 2004.2.
Shouldn't this be maintained separately from the release process?  Why
is releng meeting to talk about this list?

Regards,
Aron
