• Schedule for v0.10.x and v0.12.x Releases #52
• Charter this #48

[jasnell]

I think #63, #61 and #52 are old and can likely be removed.
I also think nodejs/node#4592 is old also.

One additional item I would add is that we should talk about always having a release candidate process for every RC to avoid the 4.2.5=>4.2.6 type issue again

[bnoordhuis]

I'm going to excuse myself, I need to catch up on sleep.

Deprecate Array#values() in 0.12.x

I'd close this. I think we put this in the release notes at one time.

Deprecate smalloc in v0.12

I think a note in smalloc.markdown that it's deprecated and removed in newer versions should be sufficient. It's at 'Experimental' now; there were no stability guarantees anyway.

Discuss the possibility of occasional semver-minor bumps in LTS

Seems fine to me. I thought we'd already agreed on this?

I don't have an opinion on the other issues.
