Given that we are releasing a software product, not a distribution of a
certain kind, e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS, Mint, I think a feature-driven
model.

The development of Fineract will be driven by user requirements,
specific to the platform. Bundled libraries will only have influence
on the release schedule if a security issue was detected and fixed.
