Actually, there is a broad issue here: is there a point where the system 
is so stable that updating is a continuous process without the need for 
a Fedora N -> N+1 transitions? Specifically, will we have a 3-digit 
Fedora release in May 2053 :-?

It seems to me that the 6-month release cycle has traditionally been 
driven by two separate reasons: technology and workflow. The first is a 
need to accommodate major, incompatible technology shifts. The second 
one just introduces a natural cadence of work leading to an orderly 
release.

Do you think the tech could stabilize enough to obviate the first 
reason? The 6-month workflow cadence remains a good idea, of course, 
but  could result in a major offline upgrade, instead of  an entire new 
distribution.
