I think packaging is mostly automated these days. It'll be possible, though, that
one or more of the distros will pick a snapshot that fits their schedule and bundle
it. I would be fine with that, actually, if we keep master stable.

Basically, when we agree that Calligra is now ready for real users. Given that
I have found nine big issues with Stage while preparing three slides for Fosdem,
it might take a couple of months... (I'm keeping a list.)

That number is something we can discuss at the sprint -- but personally,
I like anything from 4 to 6 :-)
