Hmm, I do not have an overview on this, but like Alvaro mentions, the 
shorter release cycles for 8.3 was done because we felt that a number of 
patches that were originally slated for 8.2 were almost but not quite 
ready for 8.2. So are all of those patches from back then ready to go 
into 8.3? If not then it would indicate that fast tracking a release 
cycle for patches there are not quite there yet is not paying off?

Otherwise, if all/most of the patches originally planned for 8.2 have 
made it into 8.3, everything is good. If new additions are not yet ready 
then they will just get bumped to 8.4, just like the changes that got 
bumped to 8.3.

regards,
Lukas
