I remember at the beginning of the FC5 cycle some developers that
raised concerns against the 3 months development + 3 months bug
fixing, and pleaded for a 6+3 model, e.g. effectively doubling the
development efforts per cycle, while the total cycle extends for only
50%.

It also later went through the press that Fedora was going 9 months
instead of 6 months, so I assumed it had been set in stone as such. :)
