if we want to guarantee that QEMU and the kernel work together I think we really need to pretty much freeze the kernel two weeks before QEMU's release date, in order to have a fighting chance at catching and fixing problems.
I don't think it is reasonable to freeze the kernel for two weeks in a ~4 week cycle. Therefore we might have to consider simply not having the same release dates for all components. We could pipeline the dependencies instead of being all synchronous.
This would mostly work, although you'd end up with the slightly odd effect that qemu-linaro released at the same time as the rest of the toolchain components but nominally as part of the previous month's release...
