TBH I have not followed that discussion very closely, so maybe that's
clear for everybody but me... but WHY do we need releases at all?

From my perspective it does not make too much sense, the board status
thingy is good enough... coordinating people to obey arbitrary
deadlines creates some friction that requires some rationale IMHO.
I for one would rather read some changelog-like newsletters/blog posts
and rely on board status than have some real changelogs + coreboot
"versions". So, what advantages do you hope for?
