I would be very much in favor of a regular release schedule supplemented by urgent releases for immediate issues.
It is what we started doing for PHP as well. Very regular releases, with exceptions for "security releases". It's been a great success. Everybody around the ecosystem knows when releases are coming, and it is easy to communicate that if you want your change/fix/feature in a new release, it needs to be done by x date. I think this would be hugely beneficial for the tz project too - it can also be used as a stick to communicate to organisations that *change* the rules, that this is when their computers are getting updated. cheers, Derick

I wonder if it would make sense for the tz database to have a regular release schedule, e.g. monthly. How often would it be necessary to release more urgently?
