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.
Nope. Red Hat Linux itself followed a similar release schedule so this
has nothing to do with Fedora/RHEL splut.
Not exactly. Old releases of Red Hat Linux was supported much more time
rather than Fedora now.
Besides you can't explain various other distribution that have a 6
month release cycle this way.
Yep, I can't :)
Answer lies in rest of the upstream software including GNOME which
follow this release schedule
BTW, what else significant besides GNOME?
and user demands for those software which are usually too intrusive to
include as updates in a general release.
But it seems intrusive anyway, because the user is compelled to switch
to the new release fast enough...
