   I'm just following the existing document
   ```
   In general, feature ("minor") releases occur about every 6 months. Hence, 
Spark 2.3.0 would
   generally be released about 6 months after 2.2.0.
   ```
   
   I don't see any place mentioning that the 6 months is counted after the 
scheduled release date, or the branch cut date.
   
   > The master branch has been prepared for Apache Spark 3.2 without being 
blocked by Apache Spark 3.1.
   
   Before 3.1 was released, I think it was still the QA period and part of the 
community was not working on 3.2 development. I think we should have a full 6 
months of community development for the new release.
   
   Looking at the history, 2.2.0 was released 7 months after 2.1.0, 2.3.0 was 
released 7 months after 2.2.0. We don't have the tradition to shorten the 
release window of the next release if the previous release was delayed.
