Subject: Postpone 7.3 (& 7.2) releases by 1 week?
From: phpdev@ehrhardt.nl (Jan Ehrhardt)

Right now we have this cyclus:

Week 1: 7.3.x RC1
Week 2: 7.4.x RC1
Week 3: 7.3.x Release, maybe 7.2.x Release
Week 4: 7.4.x Release
Week 5: 7.3.x+1 RC1
etc etc

Wouldn't it be better to sync our watches and release new versions of
PHP 7.4, 7.3 and possibly 7.2 at the same date, every 4 weeks?

This can be done by delaying the 7.3 and 7.2 release cycles with one
week. Proposal:

1. Tag PHP 7.3.14RC1 on Tuesday Jan  7, Release on Thursday Jan  9
2. Tag PHP 7.3.14    on Tuesday Jan 21, Release on Thursday Jan 23
3. Tag PHP 7.2.27 (if any) on Jan 21, Release on Jan 23

Small changes would be needed to

Let us give the 7.3 RMs a New Years Eve
