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?
