I don't remember that being the decision. Another thing that
doesn't work with projects that want to ship more often and want
to update the corresponding EPP package with that release.
At the risk of overstating things, I don't think the Planning
Council equally represents the interests of the many projects that
participate in the simultaneous release. That is, I would say that
the interests of the larger, more well-established projects and
their consumers (e.g. platform, strategic developers, etc) are
overrepresented on the Planning Council, and this has resulted in
decisions that are counter to the increasing needs for innovation
from newer/smaller projects...e.g. to ship more often, provide more
innovation in tooling/IDE, have fewer 'must have' SR requirements
because of resource limitations, etc.
I don't want these comments to be construed as a criticism of chair
David Williams, or even of the existing Planning Council. IMHO, the
problem is more structural.
