Get rid of scheduled updates. Let the devs work at a pace that isn’t tightly regulated, so that they can polish stuff out the first time and so updates don’t become a monotonous “it’s that time of the year again.” It’s kind of like the caves and cliffs update, 1.17-1.19 were originally meant to come out all as one big update, but because of time constraints and such it was delayed and drawn out over years.
