Hmmm. And then people - WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS WHEN THE 3.6 PLAN WAS
POSTED???

He, I couldn't help myself, sorry for the shouting. ;-) But I really
mean it. We agreed on the plan. And one of the things we wanted to do is
to have faster release cycles than before - we are aiming for 3 releases
per year IIRC.

There will ALWAYS be stuff to harvest. There will ALWAYS be cool new
stuff to add. But we need a proper beta and gamma period.

Personally I think we should stick to the plan but move the beta start a
few days so that NewLook, TTF and Simulatorfixes can get in.

IMHO SM1.1 can wait until early 3.7. Even if it breaks my heart to admit
it. :-)
