[QGIS-Developer] Where do we sit with respect to release?

[G. Allegri]

Thanks everyone for the great work!
As a power user, plugin developer and (Q)GIS teacher (I face dozens of
professional users frequently) I'm totally in favour to post-pone release
and gain reliability and stability.

I don't think there's such a compulsive need to release sooner. Release
often, release soon, will probably be necessary for the next minors (bug
fixing).

@Denis I was worried as you, but I believe an Osgeo4W user is a kind of
user with enough skills to manage the switch. Most users will probably use
the standalone installer.... I guess.
