Maybe, I got yet another idea:
* stick with the SVN release schedule for 1.7
* once 1.7.0 got released, request a guesstimate for 1.8
a) believable 6 month time-frame -> stay in sync w/ SVN
b) likely to be 9 month or more -> announce change in TSVN release
policy
* new release policy (if applicable):
- a feature release about every 6 months
- the last feature release may be rather close to the next SVN release
(but stop releasing new features when SVN enters stabilization)
- name releases closely to SVN version numbering:
* 1.8.0, 1.8.1, ... for the initial feature set releases
* 1.8.10, 1.8.11, ... for the second feature releases
* 1.8.20, etc for the third feature release etc.
(we don't release more frequently than every 3 weeks,
so patch level numbers won't overlap)
That way we wouldn't appear to change policies at a "whim"
but have plenty of time to inform / educate users upfront, instead.

Looking forward to it ;)
