Ok, i can agree that splitting grimoire into two part can lead to some
problems. This thread was started to discuss our problems. So the
another one was pointed by sandalle: too much attention is spent on
test grimoire. Maybe we can change the process of stable release a
little. Currently test and stable grimoires live in parallel and many
use test. Example of how we can change this (6 month cycle):

* new grimoire created and populated with latest versions of spells,
general development (3 month)
* bug fixing, version updates are not recommended (2 month)
* freeze, version updates prohibited, integrations handled by grimoire,
QA leads (1 month)

or in schematic form:

current:

test -> test -> test -> test ->
|
stable-rc -> stable -> support;

proposed:

test -> stable-rc -> stable; test -> ...
|
support;

We already have this defined in http://wiki.sourcemage.org/StableGrimoireUpdate and a proposal for monthly releases in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.sourcemage.discuss/3953.
