### Release branches

Rather than considering master to always be in a releasable state, we could maintain long-lived release branches. This adds a lot of overhead to the release manager, as they have to manage cherry-picks.

### Extending cycle by a week

As this process assumes a regression release at Day 7, it begs the question on whether or not a 5-week feature release cycle makes more sense:

* Day 0: Create milestones for the next regression & feature release
* Day 7: Regression release (optional)
* Day 21: Beta release
* Day 28: Beta 2 release
* Day 31: Feature freeze and optional final beta
* Day 35: Feature release

The downside is a slightly lower release velocity, the upside may be more a more stable final release.
