Thank you for doing this very important work, it is good to see 
this train being put back on the tracks again!

Regarding preference for release cadence I think this should be 
mainly up to the person doing the work. I also think that it 
makes sense to prioritise making the process more robust and 
easier to operate over a high cadence.
Also, it may be more valuable to have frequent bug fix releases 
than feature releases.
And, should it take extra effort to prepare installer packages 
than the zip archives, it could be an option to have a lower 
cadence for these. People that require the latest and greatest 
are probably fine with a zip. At SARC we have automated compiler 
installation as part of the commit history, which relies solely 
on zip archives. This is probably a common approach in 
professional teams.
