So, first, putting together a release is a lot of work. If we're
stepping on the toes of the previous releases, are we wasting some of
that work?

I don't see the relevance of that observation. A new version, whenever it is released

will impact the uptake of the previous. If you're saying you believe two releases a year

is too much work and unsustainable - if true, then there are probably metrics to support

that concern.

Second, from a press/PR point of view, I think we get less total press
from having twice-a-year releases than we would from just having one
big one. When it's so frequent, it doesn't feel like news.

Basing our release strategy on the fickleness of press coverage is

subjective and isn't going to do give any consistent results.

Third, the modularity initiative and the "generational core" give us an
opportunity to rethink how we are doing releases entirely. (See Stephen
Gallagher's blog post if you need a quick overview of this:

Kevin's comment raised some important concerns about this.
