So by arguing for new features in minor releases we're saying we should have a 4-6 week cycle. New library features every 6 weeks.
Now perhaps 12 months is too long (I think it is). Perhaps 6 months is too long even (though many other groups have settled on 6 months). But surely 6 weeks is far too short. That means essentially no synchronisation effect at all.
If the majority opinion is that 6 months is too long to wait for new features, then how about 4 months, or even 3? Do people see the point I'm trying to make about the value of synchronisation?
Can the Haskell Platform be uninstalled / upgraded seamlessly? I think it's a key technical requirement for shorter release cycles that installing a new release does not break due to any old ones that were installed previously. Regards, apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
