Hi,

currently the 5.6 release schedule is not in sync with 5.4 and 5.5 which is
a bit inconvenient (it is easier to sync between the RMs if they are
targetting the same dates with their release, etc.) plus if we keep that
way, it will be a huge PITA when we have to do co-ordinated release
containing security fixes.
To resolve this we (Stas, Julien and myself) decided to sync the upcoming
releases for the next version, and as 5.4 and 5.5 are already on the same
schedule, the decision was to try to match that with 5.6.
5.4.34 and 5.5.18 are expected to be released in about two weeks, so here
is the plan:

- if we have security fixes ready for the next release, 5.6.2 will be
released along with 5.4.34 and 5.5.18 containing nothing but 5.6.1 plus the
security fixes and we will follow the same schedule onwards.
- if there are be no security fixes we obviously won't make an identical
release to 5.6.1, so then 5.6.2 will follow the release schedule for 5.4.35
and 5.5.19 and we will follow the same schedule onwards.

sorry for the inconvenience and the possible confusion, but after this sync
it will be easier for everybody to follow the schedule as there will be
only one schedule to keep in mind!

a little correction: 5.5.18 is expected next week (not in two weeks) and as
5.4 is in security fix mode, 5.4.34 will only happen when we have security
fixes to release.

Yes, time has passed since we started to discuss it :) 5.4/5.5 (and now
5.6) is expected on October 16th (tags go out on Tuesday October 14th as
usual) to remove all doubt.
