I think that 2 releases a year are more than enough. From the feedback I 
get from other users locally that I help, after a while, they get the 
impression that there must be something wrong with the distro to have so 
many releases ALL the time. Too many releases may in fact hurt the brand 
Mageia more that help it. It may be cool for the devs and power users to 
have more releases, but for the vast majority, it is a huge time 
commitment not to mention the potential of loss data due to lack of 
knowledge of distro installation.

I would vote for 2 maximum but with more updating/backporting of newer 
software versions. We have to take care of our user-base.
