My feeling is that the year based numbering is most clearest and actually 
was a good change from Mandriva some years ago.

For releases cycles, I have also been pretty happy. I have some computers 
(laptops and servers where I often skip every second release if things 
like suspend/resume are working at the moment). But I have couple of 
computers where I on the other hand want always test the latest stuff, and 
for those the 6 month cycle is good.

Given the amount of time that is needed for polishing things, maybe the 
8-9 month cycle like in suse would indeed be a good compromise?
