A monthy snapshot allows us to (as Marc points out) to set goals and
promote new features. But we should be really strict there -- no
last-minute changes (like, historically, we have seen with Unity). If
something is not ready, then this something *MUST* be postponed. We
will be now, at most, delaying one month (or a few days).

I am all for rolling release process between LTSs, but, please, let's
do it right.
