As in 1 week from now?

Yep. Does the proposal deal with that issue? If not we need to fix it.

Sure, but we need to use 'something' now, in a week, a month, 4 months... 
Minor tweaking along the way is ok, continually changing how we do things 
because we never thought it through and came to a consensus looks bad and 
confuses people. It's... inelegant ;-) Different people writing things in 
different ways gives the same impression (and again, it's a valid one).

Thanks for the reply :-)

So here's that link again: https://promo.notes.kde.jefferai.org/34

SC 4.5.2 lands in (I guess) about a week? What are we going to do about that? 
Have we got somewhere since 4.5.1? Are we going to do the release announcement 
differently? If we do write it differently then it should be the 'right' 
differently this time.

If we're not careful we will just stumble along for another few months until 
someone else points out that we're not making a lot of sense. Then we have 
another long thread of emails, getting everyone back up to speed on the issues 
we've discussed countless times until we all get bored with it, the thread 
peters out and we don't make a whole lot of progress.

Cheers,
Stu
