Re: [incubation] parallel releases?

[Jeen Broekstra <jeen.broekstra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Wayne, Konstantin, good to know.

Communicating clearly with the community is of course important. Fortunately we 
have done several milestone builds for each release already, and these have been 
announced, with an explanation of the difference, both on our user forum and on 
our project website. So they should be somewhat prepared (Famous Last Words).

Cheers,

Jeen

Should I go ahead and just submit both releases for review at the same time (in separate reviews, of course)? Or would it be better/easier to do them sequentially?
