[Qgis-developer] Is the new release schedule a success?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi

In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the release schedule. It has 
mainly two reasons:

- QGIS is quite a large project. So testing really everything (including 
complex interaction of different modules with GUI) is impossible.

- There is a lot of development activity in QGIS. More development = 
more possibility of unexpected side effects.

A longer feature freeze wouldn't help. The thing which does help is the 
2.8 version.

Regards,
Marco
