Comment:

 Just noting there has been some discussion about this recently on
 make/core:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/11/25/devchat-after-the-hour-
 november-20/

 Per @youknowriad:
 > By December 11, Gutenberg will be ahead of Core with about 5 releases
 and this is a problem. 12 Gutenberg releases shipped into 5.3 . This is
 too much for a single WordPress release and with the current schedule,
 it’s seems like this is going to be similar for 5.4… This is not tenable
 for the future. It’s hard to stabilize and ship, it’s hard to summarize
 the changes for third-party developers and users, it’s more scary to ship
 and people were recommending the plugin to be installed for their clients
 (and it’s risky since the plugin is a development plugin). So how to
 reduce that gap is a big issue that needs solving IMO.Ideally I do think a
 shorter release cycle for majors is better. (Why not just a 5.4 in like
 end of January 😇 ), otherwise we’ll have to include enhancements in
 minors.
