aiming for a beta
Now that M6 is out the door, I would like to raise the idea that the
next release is a beta and not another milestone.
What this means:
* after that release the API is locked down, and
* no new features are added
Why this might be good:
* it is an important step toward a final 3.0 release
* it tells the wider community they should start testing their apps
without fear of refactoring due to API changes
* it will flush out some stoic 2.0.4 users and get them thinking about
upgrading, and giving us bug reports
Given the previous release gaps, I'd expect a beta 1 release in about
October. If that is too soon, then we should have a M7 before that time.
I don't think we need a formal vote, and I've already named the next
Cayenne milestone 'beta 1' in Jira. Are there any objections to this
approach?

I think this is a good idea. I think we could expedite the beta
considerably as well. I'm not abject to a 3.1 release coming out on
the heels of the 3.0 release.
