(Crazy idea: should 4.7 be renamed 5.0? Would it be better to call it 5.0? It would have been, but with several beta's already released it's now too late. And besides if everyone listens to Adrian R. and implements his crazy/brilliant ideas 4.7 *will* look like a point release compared to 4.8... =D
There a lot of crazy (yet cool) ideas shaping up for Drupal 4.8/5.0. People should already start preparing their patches; I hope to use much shorter development cycles in future aiming towards 2-3 releases a year. I'm thinking about trying a time-based release cycle, where development is frozen at a predefined date. It sounds like something worth evaluating. It doesn't hurt to give it a try. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
