[TYPO3-core] Changing the release cycle

Sure. I just meant these numbers as examples. What I really want to 
express is:

- the changes in 6.0 were big enough and developers need time to adapt. 
I we want to make 6.2 LTS a success we should make 6.1 and 6.2 be minor 
releases in terms of features and big changes under the hood.
- to accommodate for a bigger refactoring, we would open development for 
the next major release (hence 7.0) in parallel. This would help keep the 
6.x branch stable and also give more time for the big changes, because 
development of 7.0 would open now (or after the moratorium I proposed in 
another thread for resolving all pending patches).

That's the point I'm trying to make.

Cheers
