Agreed.
Don't try to get 3.5.13.1 perfect. What exists now for 3.5.13.1 far exceeds the
quality of 3.5.13. Push the 3.5.13.1 tarballs.
Additional 3.5.13.x releases make some sense, but I'd rather see time and energy
focused on getting R14 out the door. The time and energy devoted to 3.5.13.1 has robbed
R14 of forward progress.
Maintaining a stable 3.5.13.x is challenging because of the need to evaluate and test
backwards compatibility of every single patch --- 'TQ/tq' transpositional fixes,
XDG differences, etc. Those differences won't exist with R14 point releases. The
sooner we get R14 out the door the better off we'll be.
3.5.13-SRU was huge! so many patches. I would prefer
many
smaller releases, with maybe 10 or less patches each, in higher
frequency, from our stable branch (of course it is all up to you
slavek, just offering my input)
I have been proposing this type of release schedule for a long while.
