One thing that's clear is that anaconda QA missed some key spots, and

a lot of stress among users and developers.
The problem is that most users don't have time and resources to test
twice a year a new release. 6 months for development+beta testing+RC
testing is just too little.
It seems that someone in a marketing department assumed that people will
be frightened by 6 month cycle and will *buy* more stable distribution
kit (RHEL) instead.
Red Hat Linux itself followed a similar release schedule so this has
nothing to do with Fedora/RHEL split. Besides you can't explain various
other distribution that have a 6 month release cycle this way. Answer
lies in rest of the upstream software including GNOME which follow this
release schedule and user demands for those software which are usually
too intrusive to include as updates in a general release.
