Matt,

Certainly the intention is to have a fuller release cycle for major
releases, but stable (point) releases I *feel* that this is not so pressing.
Two days basically gives time for folks to run some quick tests to ensure
the packaged form of the release has no glaring new problems.

For 1.5.0 I expect to go through 2-3 releases (betas) before a final
release candidate.

Does that seem reasonable?

Best regards,
