If I remember properly Oslo, we actually had planned to have a "always
stable" master and features developed in branches that would be merged when
"ready". Bug fixes should be done in master.
 I think this is actually working pretty good as of now.

So would it be possible to have on a regular basis (monthly why not), a
"stable snapshot". I am not sure there should be a link with a future
"numbered" release (like 3.0 technology preview). That way we could have
"numbered release" linked to evolution in the software rather than date
constraint.

We could have the following then:
- Calligra [last release number] Stable snapshot [YYMM]. These would provide
both "maintenance releases" and new "finished " merged features.
- Calligra [new release number]: when we decide we achieved technically a
new Milestone.
