I understand the theory, but I like the routine of planing in 3 months 
cycles. Uncomplicated and I know when the release branch is going to be 
closed when the calendar does not work.
A release after 5 weeks is likely to force me to maintain 2 versions.
Frankly, I'd have preferred to wait a week more and get Boost.Move into the 
1.47.
