Having some experience with timing development cycles in agile/scrum, the
problem with a longer release cycle is that the amount of work bitten off
grows to match, and you end up with the same scramble on a bigger scale,
actually making the problem worse rather than better.

I think we should keep on a six-month release cycle but also have "epic"
planning for features across cycles. There was a suggestion at Fudcon to
move to using point releases, each point with a six-month cycle but with a
bigger two-year cycle wrapping a series of releases together.
