There'd still be a lot of other details to work out to turn the proposed release cadence change into a practical reality, but this is the key piece that I think is a primarily technical hurdle: simplifying the current "wheel-per-python-version-per-target-platform" community project build matrices to instead be "wheel-per-target-platform".
