As we move into a more automated way doing one off things like this

This seems backwards to me. As we get more complicated and develop
automation to assist with that complication, we need to get _more_
flexible, not less. I'd love for Spins to be able to ship when the SIG
for each one determines that their thing is ready - if someone wants to
fix up Jam, release it next month or whatever.
For that matter, it'd be nice to have the option for the main Editions
- if there's something that only affects Workstation or Server, don't
hold up the other (or the underlying release) for it.
From a PR point of view, the releases don't drive press like they used
to - I think we'd actually be better served by more, smaller
announcements. From a user adoption point of view, releases aren't the
