[...] In my recollection, there is pretty much always at least one release every spring and every fall, when some-government-or-other decides they need to change their DST rules with minimal notice. So in practice there's a six-months-or-less release cadence, and I doubt that making it three or four months would change anything noticeable.
If we somehow get through this year's late silly season with no urgent releases, the current release will be out-of-date on 2023-March-21 (due to DST changes in Iran) so we'd need a release a few months before then to allow plenty of lead time for downstream maintainers and consumers. -- -=( Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> || MEV Ltd. is a company )=- -=( registered in England & Wales.
