I'm not sure what you mean. The "problem" is that there lots of
valuable contributions in trunk that haven't gotten shook out
sufficiently yet, not that we're holding them up.
If we did a 1.2.x, it shoud (imo) contain no new features, only
important bugfixes.
Right now, there are a few items which are falling behind because
the trunk code is changing rapidly.
Again, I'm not sure what you mean by "falling behind". We've got a
few major code restructuring changes currently in trunk--they need
time to shake out. I would be onboard with a proprosal to limit
major things under consideration ƒor 1.3 to the things we are already
close to finishing.
If you mean that there are a lot of small tweaks that the community
doesn't have access to because we haven't done a release, I'm
inclined to agree that that would be ideal. It is more work to do
maintain that kind of release schedule (requires work on multiple
branches at once).
