As said above, Google doesn't really care about "releases", except for that they care enough about the community "outside" who, they know, do care about releases.

@Thomas: And thats exactly why I think GWT will have a better life if we would do fixed, automated monthly / quarterly releases directly from master after they have run through Google testing to ensure a high degree of stableness. People don't like using SNAPSHOTs so just lets just "rename" some SNAPSHOTs as releases on a regular basis.

+1, though it needs more testing than "Google testing", because Google doesn't use 100% of GWT, and don't use it the way we use it externally (whether the "SDK" or Maven artifacts).

Because it takes some time to test, it cannot be too frequent; unless maybe we only "stage" artifacts and ask the community to test them and vote for whether to release them (like Apache does)

But it also takes some time to write release notes for every release.

So again, mostly a problem of time to spend.
