This is what I tried to address by giving an example of how things *can*
fit. Nobody has, to date, come up with something that couldn't fit within
a 4-month release window (IE, the size necessary for 3 releases a year).
I will accept any example people choose to give, and do my best to show
how to make it reasonable. If I can't, well then, you'll have a point,
and the proposal would need modification.
There's the gauntlet.
