Beyond 0.44, is there any interest to release on the Gnome schedule - the next one being Oct which could include the SOC projects. Advantage of such a schedule would be getting the latest version into Fedora and Ubuntu releases since they kind of revolve around Gnome schedule. Just a thought.
Well... we might wind up 0.44 soon.... (soon-ish), but then have 0.45 that just happens to wind up matching that other timeframe. Or 0.46... who knows.

Just a suggestion.
If releases are burning developers out, perhaps you could adopt the Linux Kernel model and call every other release a beta candidate.
Tidy up 0.44, call it a beta candidate, release it to users with a warning that this is a buggy version but it has new cool features. Leave 0.43 up as the official release for most users. When 0.44 is as bug free as you can get it, call it 0.45 and make it the new 'official' release, whenever that happens. In the mean time, all 'new' features go into 0.46, which will be the next beta candidate.
InkScape is a pretty complicated bit of work and I can understand how stressful it must be to get a release out. Maybe it's time to look at something like this to ease the pressure?
