        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.
