Up to Fedora 21, releases have occurred at roughly 6 month intervals. Fedora 21 is scheduled to be released about 11 months after Fedora 20. Is the intention to schedule future releases at roughly 12 month intervals, or is the long interval for Fedora 21 only (or whatever)? Will Fedora 20 be supported till Fedora 22 is released, or for about 13 months after it was released, i.e. about January 2015 (or whatever)?
Sorry if this has already been discussed; I haven't been following the list carefully.

The long Fedora 21 cycle was to allow time for bringing up tools like QA's taskotron and rework deliverables to add Server/Workstation/Cloud products.
I expect we will go back to a 6 month cycle with f22.

Right now as far as I know it should be supported until 1 month after Fedora 22 is released.

No problems.

Seems that ever since fedora switched to every 6 months release schedule, the number of bugs has been higher. I think it is impossible to perform thorough testing and iron out all the bugs of a new release every 6 months. Simply put, not enough dedicated and SAVVY testers of kernel subsystems and features being introduced every 6 months.

I've often wondered if a 1 year release cycle would be better.

Fedora has pretty much always been on a 6 month release cycle.
I think a few of the early core releases were longer, and we had a longer cycle in f18 due to lots of stuff.
IMHO, things are less buggy these days, but it might just be that I don't hit the same things other folks do, or better know how to work around them.

Fedora has always been on a 6 month-release schedule. Fedora 21 is the first to buck this trend.

My experience has also been similar.
