I agree with your general sentiment.  We rushed to release 3.4.0
because it was thought 3.5.0 would bring the bonus of changes
happening in 3.4.0.  As a matter of fact, we now get another set of
new things whose bonuses are promised for the future.
What are our release criteria?  Sorry to ask the trivial, but it is
because I'm unclear about what we're after.
