* xz for default package compression (as I said in last summer :)
* handling release goal/target/task via BTS to clear what is done or not
* ... and not only decide goals but also specify "time box(*)" and do
iterative development (agile!)
We have three items "cost(resource), scope and schedule" to manage
development(*). Probably we cannot handle resource, but we can change
scope and schedule. Then, which one do we touch? - It's "scope", IMO.
Regular schedule would give two benefits for us, one is "cadence",
it's easier for us that we (including developer candidates) can find
what we should do next cycle and plan for happy vacations :) Another
is for our users, same as above, are able to prepare testing new
packages.
If we'd specify clear schedule and scope, we would be happy, and
it does not mean that writing scope is a promised task, we can change it
if it's not done in that time box. It's iterative job, so just we need
to do is, done with it in next time box.
