Well, after this release, it will be a long time before the next
one, since we are planning to Break Everything and fix the file
format, internals, etc. We don't have the developer power to have
a "release early, release often" attitude all the time.

Again, because we don't have the developer power. It is possible
we will have release candidates for -this- release because it is
so important.
Having said that, any discussion of release scheduling is irrelevant
until we go through the buglist and decide what needs to be fixed
and what doesn't.
