Thanks for working with Julien, and congratulations on the first
publication in the VTK Journal ;-)

Yes, the meaning of an issue is somewhat confounded by the digital
journal format. I see the argument for a rolling document. However,
for purposes of referencing, and relating to the community wrt
historical efforts, it is convenient to roughly group documents into
years (hence yearly issues). Basically t's organizational meta-data.
It also has implications if we decide to identify "best" papers /
contributions, it's nice to segment this across time.
