Maybe this all indicates that the idea of bimonthly commitfests has run
its course. The original idea might have been, if we have like 50
patches, we can process all of them within a month. We're clearly not
doing that anymore. How would the development process look like if we
just had one commitfest per dev cycle that runs from July 1st to March 31st?
