Just remind those grazers the problems we had before we decided on this |
| 7 |
date-based release scheme. While for somethings the stance of "it's ready |
| 8 |
when it's ready" works. This is not true for such a dynamic animal as gentoo. |

I also like the idea of coinciding normal releases with stable tree releases. |

We could also merge the media. I guess I can trust you to make a reasonable |
| 12 |
assesment on the posibility of doing this. For me a 6 months cycle is |
| 13 |
probably better than 3 months. 3 months has shown to be too short for real |
| 14 |
work. We could maybe alternatively provide a good manual (if we don't yet) |
| 15 |
for users how to make their own releases / livecd's. |
