Realistically, I don't think the 9 month cycle really helped that much
except for one very specific case of the underlying installer changes.
And realistically, if it had been a six month cycle instead, those would
have been worked out then as well.  For everything else, if we had been
on a six month cycle, some of them would have made FC5 and some would
have made FC6.  But guess what, that's going to be true no matter _when_
you actually cut a release.  It's the price of doing releases more than
once every three years :-)
