That's not how I recall it. IIRC, you wanted to freeze 24.4 ~ six weeks
after 24.3 was released. This would have left very little time for
people who had been concentrating on the release to develop any new
features.

Oh, are you? I would have been happy to do it again. But I see Chong
Yidong is back (yay!), so if he wants to do it; or if someone else wants
to have a go, it's fine by me.

That, of course, is the hard part. Traditionally this large burden has
fallen on a tiny number of people. If suddenly lots of people are going
to start doing this, of course you can crank out more frequent releases.
