As my first time going through a point release, and with less than two weeks until 1.5, I wondered about the release schedule. As the mailing list has gone down, I started an issue to discuss this.

I presume it will go something like:

1. a v1.5 branch gets created from master, i.e. we implement a code-freeze for 1.5
2. we then start removing commits from the 1.5 branch that we don't consider stable, i.e. things in master that we discover aren't as stable as we thought when we first merged them and thus needs holding back until v2.1.
3. once we feel confident about the 1.5 release, we release.

So question, when does step 1 occur, and how long between step 1. and step 3.?
