“I don’t know if we are going to tie ourselves to a spring/fall release schedule as much,” said Schappert to a gathering of reporters. “I think one of the things that I worked with the team with when I joined — let’s do a big release. Spring and fall sounds like there is a lot of distance between the two but there is an awful lot of… it’s pretty hard to make a new dashboard because you have to certify it against every revision of the hardware, and there’s a bunch of different specs. It’s a pretty time-consuming and challenging thing to do. Which is why we only did it twice a year.”

But apparently, as Schappert went on to explain, even twice a year may still be too often. “I like staying focused on bigger and more impactful releases, so maybe it will be twice a year, maybe less frequently,” he said. “You know, to be determined. I think it’s going to be more about: What’s the next big launch? What are we bringing? When can we bring it? How can we do it in a big way?”
