In the past, Debian release cycles have been very long, making it difficult
for developers to support the released version. After hamm (which took more
than a year), there was a definite sentiment to move to shorter release
cycles. That doesn't mean we're going to work with fixed deadlines
(otherwise a broken slink would be available in time for christmas
shopping), but it does mean there's some pressure to get slink releasable.
