I definitely agree with this, as I've argued before for a more timeline based approach to major
releases to avoid / reduce a repeat of the "quick, while 7.0 is on the table" RFC rush,
and the "well, 7.1 is still kinda the beginning of 7.x, so we can break things a little"
kludges.
There is still the question of how to ease the transition, though: a subtle break documented years
in advance is still a subtle break, so we need to think what form of deprecation is useful to
developers. That means more than restarting voting with a new target version, and if the final
target is 8.0, there's no rush to hold that new vote.
