So, I was doing some archeology on past releases and we seem to be getting into longer release cycles. With 4.2 we have already crossed the 1 year barrier.

For 4.3 we have already added quite a bit of infrastructure that is all good in paper but still needs some amount of TLC.

There was some discussion on IRC that I would like to move to the mailing list so that we get a wider discussion. There's been thoughts about skipping 4.2 completely, or going to an extended Stage 3, etc.

Thoughts?
Just forget ADA and Java in mainstream. Both of them are seriously impeding casual contributions.

I missed the discussion on IRC, but neither of those front-ends are release blockers.

I cannot speak for ADA, but I am not aware that the Java front-end has caused any release delays recently. I am sure you will correct me if I have missed something.
