Ideal version frequency (excluding bug fixes and stuff)

4 to 6 months sounds good to me (so 5 months I guess). What do you guys think?

Well, you can have a release every day, if you pull from SVN. It's easy on linux

The problem with that is the client's and the server's versions start to drift and, you need to download all these svn_compat files.

Problem? I think it's both positive and negative. It's allowed for more testing and challenged current understanding of needs and procedures. Certainly I don't think it'd be a good thing if all servers were SVN because releases are notably more stable and it just makes life easier 
.
As for a release schedule... I think that's something the project should consider because extended periods of time without a stable release can cause a decline in interest... but I do understand the want/need for 2.5 to be more rounded...

Bolded important parts in prev. post. All is not 100% but more than 3/4, imo, to be precise.

A new version once a year with major features that breaks backwards compatibility between client and server sounds fine for me.
And if physics change, it takes very, very long to re-learn. (well, for me).

I honestly can't tell if this is a sassy comment or not.
