Hey Hanno,

I would be in favor of keeping one line for zc.buildout releases to avoid
people having to deal with release numbers in their buildouts.

People that want the latest features can deal with the trunk ihmo.

I have proposed a while ago to reduce the pace of releases, and to come up
with releases that are robust,
and keep the new feature in the trunk until they are well tested.

What about having a stable release, let's say in three month, and releasing
an alpha one one week before ?

The current release (1.0.6) I have made was to avoid having a broken release
(1.0.5) at pypi head,
and seem robust.

I would really like to see the next one *way* later :D

Tarek
