I consider "improvements of existing functionality" to be a new feature. Third-dot releases should be only for bug fixes.
Then I call them "new mini features" which are reasonably manageable through a reasonable release management (I hope we have one :-)).
Sometimes we compromise on this.
I realize that the lack of progress on 2.8 creates pent up demand for new features in earlier releases. I'm not sure what to do about that. I know I won't be able to spend time on 2.8 until after the new year, at least.
I am not in the position to tell people what to do but an ongoing Z2 development is vital for Zope and its community. A standstill is like going a step back. This is especially true as long as Zope 3 has the infrastructure that we need to build systems we can build with Zope 2. Andreas
