I have a comment about this issue, which I think means that Tcl releases
and Tk releases would be allowed to happen on different schedules.
While I don't object to this, I also don't understand what problem it aims
to solve.  On the other hand there is something related to Tcl and Tk
releases which I think would solve a real problem, especially for projects
which package Tcl and Tk.  That is for Tcl and Tk to have an announced
release schedule.  If it were announced that a new release of Tcl and Tk
would be targeted to happen at regular intervals, say once a year in June
for example, I think it would simplify the work of projects which have
regular release schedules of their own and whose releases depend upon Tcl
and Tk.  I am thinking specifically of Python, but I imagine that this also
applies to Ruby and Perl, at least.
