One needs to free themselves of the idea that just because a branch is =

that it must be merged immediately. Let branches queue up if they come =

fast. An empty queue is no problem, and a full queue merely asks for pa=

With monthly releases, the wait will never be long and almost certainly=
 less=20
than the current 6 month wait time for a regular release.

Reflecting on the last 10 years of kdelibs development, I do find it ha=

imagine that a given framework will have more than 5 API additions for =

number of consecutive months. Frameworks going through that kind of chu=

usually new and not really ready for strong quality commitments. IOW, I=

it will become an issue in practice.
