I wouldn't say that this is the current plan. It's been discussed, but no
agreement that I can see has been reached. Certainly a two month
cycle and short beta is a challenge for a development group that
has just completed five and a half month beta period. I also don't see
how this won't kill new feature development unless the 8.2 branch is
opened for commits immediately. I don't wish to start that debate here,
but I would not agree that it a foregone conclusion that this will not be
in 8.1.
