For my previous government jobs it took about 3 months to get an OS certified from the time it was gold to when it could be used. That leaves 10 months of usefulness of it, which I think will work well for the cluster people who needed the latest stuff as they will be really only using it for 6 months before the next upgrade. The finalized large cluster would go onto being Centos or RHEL as it would need to run the same code sets for 5 years. Depending on the department, a 10 month lifetime would also be ok for desktops. For servers, it is too short of a time as it usually takes about 2 months after the OS is ok to be used for the various services to be solid.
