[LLVMdev] Next LLVM release thoughts?

[Reid Spencer]

As I'm not particularly active with LLVM right now, it doesn't make any 
difference to me, personally.  However, I am a strong advocate for "release 
early, release often".  We had previously agreed to releases 4 times per year. 
This will be the 3rd and final one this year.  Many users of LLVM only work 
from release to release so it is unfair to them to let them stray very far from 
the CVS "head" simply for lack of releases.

I think the improvements made to the code base over the last few months have 
been VERY significant, especially on the backend.  I think the current work on 
the new backend architecture should find a logical stopping point and then the 
release put out after sufficient testing.

My $0.02 worth.

Reid.
