Personally, I'd like to see much more frequent releases (every 3-6 
months).  I'm okay with not having complete features (like the 
dyngen->TCG conversion) or host regressions because I think there's 
value in having releases regularly compared to feature based releases.

What do other people think?  I'd be willing to do the leg work of releases.
