I suggest to significantly increase the number of intermediate releases. One
month between RC and final is too long. I would prefer to have a series of
release candidates and a release candidate should be exactly that: a candidate
which could be the release. Given the schedule I don't think that the Release
Candidate would count as that, but rather as another beta without any RCs. In
the time of the release candidates I would like to see us focusing on quality
by only addressing issues which are release-critical. Large work to fix a bug
which could end up in yet another layer of regressions should not be done.
Given that I would suggest to not put a final release date into it. It should
be the first release candidate which has no release-critical bug fixes [1] (idea
stolen from Debian). Or in short: it's done when it's done and not when we hit
the date ;-)
So as what Eike already suggested: first versions should be Alphas, afterwards
I suggest more betas and more release candidates.
Cheers
Martin
