[asterisk-dev] Proposal for New Major Version Process Change

[Dan Jenkins]

YES YES YES.

I never really got why it was done like it was...

I agree, 4-6 weeks is good. If someone's going to take the time to upgrade
to an 18 RC then they'll be looking to test it and give feedback etc etc so
you don't need a huge amount of time... just enough to actually action bug
fixes and then release new RCs with those bug fixes
