6 months is a pretty long time to wait for a major release. I

conservative. Any further move to more conservatism seriously affects
Fedora's usefulness to me.
Why?
Because, like me, he chose Fedora *because* of the stream of updates, we
*want* those updates, including version upgrades. We would be using Ubuntu
or CentOS or any of the other bazillion conservative distros otherwise.
A distro with a 6-month release cycle, but conservative updates, already
exists, it's called Ubuntu, why do we need to copy it? If you want Ubuntu,
go use Ubuntu.
I don't think that's a good argument - there are quite a lot of
nontrivial differences between the two aside from the updates, such as
commitment to Free Software, multilib, different strengths in package
set, etc. We don't need to change the world, just add an idiot filter
in bodhi =)
And the big difference: if you also need to keep RHEL and Centos boxes
working, debian/Ubuntu is quite a culture shock.
