I wanted to put this into a actual calender to make it clear:

Aug
28 0.10rc1 released,
   open season on bzr.dev

Sept
 4 0.10 released
   bzr.dev open

11 bzr.dev open

18 0.11 prep
   bzr.dev chilled for 0.11rc1, trivial fixes only

25 0.11rc1 released
   bzr.dev opened

Oct
 2 0.11 released
   bzr.dev open
...

I think I'm happy with that release schedule. It worked pretty well this
time around. Though it might be a little compressed. I wonder if we
would be happier with a 2-month cycle. But then again, I think 1-week of
trivial fixes is probably better than a 2-week slush phase.
