One thought comes to mind - while we need a PEP to make a permanent
change to the release schedule, would it be practical in any way to do
a "trial run" of the process, and simply aim to release 3.4 about 6
months after 3.3? Based on the experiences gained from that, some of
the discussions around this PEP could be supported (or not :-)) with
more concrete information. If we can't do that, then that says
something about the practicality of the proposal in itself...

The plan for 3.4 would need to be publicised well in advance, of
course, but doing that as a one-off exercise might well be viable.

Paul.

PS I have no view on whether the proposal is a good idea or a bad idea
from a RM point of view. That's entirely up to the people who do the
work to decide, in my opinion.
