A project needs to do either a release, restructuring, or continuation review
every year. The only exception is that permanent incubator projects are not
required to have reviews of any kind. We need do a better job of policing
this...

Maybe we should take this opportunity to require that a projects (with the
exception of permanent incubators) must do a *release* every year.

From David Williams:

My thoughts are it might be a bit much to _require_ a release every year ...
seems there'd be so many qualifications (e.g. initial release might take 15
months .. then to align with yearly release the next one might take 18 months,
etc.).

But, perhaps the "intent" could be better codified with wording (around section
6.3) such as "... the expectation is that a Project will release once per year.
If they do not, the projects PMC should ask for a formal continuation review to
clarify what the plan is to get to a release". Or similar.
