Just remind those grazers the problems we had before we decided on this 
date-based release scheme. While for somethings the stance of "it's ready 
when it's ready" works. This is not true for such a dynamic animal as gentoo.

I also like the idea of coinciding normal releases with stable tree releases. 
We could also merge the media. I guess I can trust you to make a reasonable 
assesment on the posibility of doing this. For me a 6 months cycle is 
probably better than 3 months. 3 months has shown to be too short for real 
work. We could maybe alternatively provide a good manual (if we don't yet) 
for users how to make their own releases / livecd's.
