Really, that sounds like an excellent way to test such an alternative
- if pg development went to what every other major libre project does,
we would not have a proper comparison of the outcome for the
alternative (lengthening the release cycle, rather than shortening).

I know how I think it'll pan out - but personal opions matter little
here, only what the dev's choose.

Whatever the outcome, this will be a great experiment in the long run,
providing a data point we would be quite unlikely to have otherwise!
