Agreed. However, we should set a upper bound on the duration of stage
1 -- it won't be practical to have mainline in stage 1 for two
years...

I'll try to expand on an idea I emitted earlier.
Firstly, I'm not convinced we should rush into making the highest
possible number of MAJOR releases per rather. I think regular (e.g. on
4-months basis) releases would be highly welcome; for the most part,
they would be dot releases. In parallel, we may have an experimental
branch in stage 1 for more than 4 months...
