I just thought a bit more about it, we don't we create an additional 
"release"?

We could maybe stay with our current release cycle, but in addition to 
it, we could create releases for testers. They could be released every 
week, branching from head on monday 0:00, and feature freeze for one 
day, from sunday 0:00 until release which could be monday 0:00.

This way, we would create the possibility to test new features, but 
don't need to have them as stable as a release, as they are just 
wip-releases, if they compile fine and are installable and bootable, 
they could be releases.

This is a _bit_ like Microsofts CTPs, but they would be more often.

If you think, branching is a bit too mush work, I would suggest to 
create them from head, I don't think, it would be a very big problem to 
call for a feature freeze on head for one day in the week, and 
additionally this would have the advantage, that head would be more 
stable (it is very stable at the moment, but from time to time this 
chages, and this way it wouldn't).

This is just an idea, it's up to others, what they make out of it.

Greets,

And yes, I know this is getting a bit ot, but that's one of my hobbies, 
I guess...
