Once all issues for the Orizaba milestone have been closed we should release a new protocol edition, Orizaba.
Motivation
There have been a sufficient number of protocol changes to warrant a new edition. Editions make it easier to reason about sets of schema versions. Some Eiffel application may choose to only update their schemas to editions and ignore non-released event versions so being too restrictive about releasing editions creates delays.
Exemplification
N/A
Benefits
New features can be made generally available to users of tools that only update their schemas for new editions.
