Even linux distro (Fedora at least,), doesn't actually do focused
releases. Roughly, they set a timeframe and they get in everything
which is ready by that date. This is very easy for a linux
distribution. It would be harder on the Sugar codebase but still very
much feasible, it's the same approach of GNOME releases.

Though Michael proposal goes a step further. We would be focusing only
on one (or a very limited number) of goals per release.
