I have the greatest respect for the developer's that put in
considerable effort for each release. The problem with 6 month release
cycle is too little time. I've used linux now for almost 6 years with
Ubuntu and Fedora. Some distros use a two year release which is too
long. One or two use an annual release which i think is about right...
development and testing can fully take place. Why not consider an
annual release which would give appropriate time for all to take
place?
