I very much agree! To signal boost: - Lowering the cost of doing releases! Whatever frequency we want to do releases, this is beneficial. And if people think we should do more frequent releases, then it becomes even more important. I haven't been able to spend enough time on xarray recently, but I've tried to add a bit more automation on each go (as have many others!). - Not waiting for anything for a release. If it's ready then great; if not then another is arriving soon. - The only reasons I could see for waiting are a) features are insufficiently independent and b) it's a "call to action" that gives people a prod to get something finished. I've rarely seen (a) here, though I can sometimes empathize with (b)...

I don't have a particularly strong view on more frequent releases — they seem a bit better — maybe contributors are more likely to contribute if they can use their code in a public release soon. (Though maybe it's possible to do numbered alpha / beta releases to PyPI so it's possible to use them immediately)

One idea if we want to do very frequent releases is to write quality release notes a bit less frequently — i.e. "here are some of the big things that we've added over the past three months" — and then a bi-weekly release is automatically generated with less fanfare.
