I suggest that if we move to do any sort of more infrequent "mega releases"
we call it KDE Community Software Release or similar. "KDE" is shorthand
for our community, after all; why not spell it out.

Sure, why not. This is not engineering I&#39;m less opinionated about it. Apart <br>
from decoupling more between engineering effort and marketing announcements <br>
that is.<br>
