</blockquote><br>I&#39;ve always pictured the HP to be for those users who don&#39;t want to live on the bleeding edge and don&#39;t want to install packages using cabal-install but rather use the distro package manager.  This means that we can only get new features out to these users whenever the distro makes a new release. This means that it doesn&#39;t matter if we do several releases per distro release. The distro will pick up the latest release that is available and release with that. So I suggest we stick with a major release every 6 months and 1-2 bug-fix releases between every major release.<br>
