It is my wish, we could decouple EDS & Evolution releases to start
building API/ABI stability into EDS. I don't have strong objects to
EDS having yearly releases. Im not saying that we wont/cant' to
backporting fixes and re-releasing for minor/micro releases. We should
be able to go back at least 2 GNOME releases. This is required kind of
required if you want to avoid  'adapting to 3.6  EDS'  like commits in
EWS/LibreOffice/SyncEvolution/*
