Every feature merge would be done on the first one or two weeks, the remaining time being used to test before the release. If QA is good enough, there will be almost no bugfix release. Anyone wanting to upgrade to fix any issue would always be using the latest feature release (with any bugfix) for it's major version number. This would be much easier to support leaving much more time to make QA good enough. Cheers, Marco
