With the year-long cycle, now anything missing Feature Freeze will be delayed by a year. The long cycle also means that a lot more time will be spent backporting things to the current release, since people won’t be able to wait a whole year for some improvements.<br>

Yes, I'll admit I'm struggling with that part of the proposal too. We<br>
could use intermediary releases but there would always be a "more<br>
important" release.<br>
<br>
Is the "rush" at the end of the cycle still a thing those days ? >From a<br>
release management perspective it felt like the pressure was reduced in<br>
recent cycles, with less and less FFEs. But that may be that PTLs have<br>
gotten better at denying them, not that the pressure is reduced now that<br>
we are past the hype peak...<br>
