    So just push everything to open source then, not only releases but branches? Nobody forces you to have fast release schedule, but you either open source or you are not. Releasing sources 2 times a year is not an open source.

      Actually, it is open source. There is nothing wrong with developing in private and pushing public when its done. Every developer works that way to some degree or another. And there are good reasons not to push every commit public.

        Yeah, every dev does that to a degree of one ticket, which shouldn’t take more that 2 days on average. So no, hiding code for half a year isn’t ok. I don’t know why you try to normalize it.

          I’m not, it is normal, even in OSS development. Pushing every ticket is fine, but so is holding back until the work is done or until release. It is, and always has been, up to the project on when and how code goes public.
