I think we're already at the point where -- at least for Fedora
Workstation (not sure about Server/Cloud), and except for
infrastructure issues -- we can stop branding our releases with a
version number, and simply have a particularly big offline update every
six months. Behind-the-scenes, we still have the six-month cycle, but
this is hidden to users. They get Fedora and it's just Fedora, not
Fedora 21 or Fedora 22. People stop complaining about the 13-months of
support that isn't long enough for them: we wouldn't have that short
support window anymore, instead there is *indefinite* support so long
as you take your monthly QAed updates pack (five small updates packs,
then a big updates pack, then five smaller ones, then a big one, ...).
This is the model Windows is moving to, and it makes a lot of sense to
me

when i hear "offline update" i have enough at all

frankly what people really need is relieable and fast *online updates* and not taking the esay road "well go offline" and that works pretty well over many years now *with expierience* what services you need to restart and if you should log off or just close specific applicatoons and start them again

giving up and say "meh i am not able and so go offline" may work for some part of the userbase, that maybe even fine *as long* efforts to continue what we have now for many many years for advanced users won't die
