Actually, I don't think that the slips in the releases have _accumulated_ to be
'half' of a full release cycle' because aren't the target dates always at the
same spot on the calendar?
When it comes down to it... the very first slip caused a delay, and that
delay may have propagated itself into the future by delaying the start
of each subsequent release. (But even that isn't true because Rawhide
keeps progressing even during a freeze.)
In the end... we still have two releases a year, its just that each release takes 7 months to do.
I applaud the Fedora release team for meeting their schedules as closely as they do!

Since 2006 we've slipped at least 16-18 weeks by my count. That's more
than half of a full release cycle.
