Pierre, There are some immediately practical things here. Some things will be a large jolt for the community and might be better introduced in future releases. Chris Good: - Scheduled releases - Use of RFCs - No PHP script breakages in x.y.z+1 releases Too complex or not good: - Number of concurrent branches: Johannes's suggestion was good - Secret voting & automated polls: many things are not binary

    decisions and need discussion

- Feature preview release: good in theory. Is there any need to

    formalize this since anyone can create a patch (or fork etc)?
