→Why 2 releases per year ? The limitation of FDKs/Mainteners ?

So what is blocking the integration of more features today is the instability that each feature merge generates, and the stabilization phase that is necessary to “digest” the Pull Requestws of evolution. We must know that the time and workload to stabilize integrated developments is exponential with the number of integrated PRs, thus:

We must know that the time and workload to stabilize integrated developments is exponential with the number of integrated PRs, thus:
−*If we release 2 times less often (so 1 every year), the time and efforts to “stabilize” is multiplied by 4 (so slower).
+*If we release 2 times less often (so 1 major version every year), the time and efforts to “stabilize” is multiplied by 4 (so slower).
*Seen another way, for an identical result in terms of evolution in the same time, the workload for developers is multiplied by 2 (so less efficient).
*Seen another way, for an identical result in terms of evolution in the same time, the workload for developers is multiplied by 2 (so less efficient).
*Or again, for an identical result in terms of evolution and an identical workload, the quality of stabilization is divided by 2 if we release 2 times less often (so lower quality).
