Agreed. Seems to be a common concern.
Mark, I think keeping at least a month in between the two events is
advisable.
That actually is our normal plan.
But it's a bit hard to have it both ways -- if we can't commit to a
3.3 date (as you suggested yesterday that we should not) then we can't
really schedule the 3.4 cutoff.
But, we have been in 3.4 stage one for quite some time now, and Geoff
and I both managed to get our work ready at that time. Stage 1 isn't
really for *developing* new major changes, it's for *integrating* them.
We could just close the mainline during a release, but it's very clear
that nobody wants to do that -- we want to make sure development can
happen while a release is being prepared. That inherently means that
there's going to be some division of people's time between the two
branches.
