mixed feelings: we did a lot, but definitely as already noted the process 
wasn't managed so well and the qa was not at the top (putting also myself in 
the blame list for that, is something that each of us shares a bit)

compared to the past, the process was quite confused, maybe is the nature of 
git, maybe is that many of us have feets in too many shoes now, but we really 
need to regain a lot of discipline.

probably a smaller release, focused more on stability (and publishing the qml 
stuff that is now in branches waiting to be merged)
