That slow release cycle isn't doing you any favors I think in the consumer world.

I also would add my voice to those who don't like the Chrome-style quick release cycle.

This is a very common problem that often emerges in large open source development projects towards the end of the release cycle.

This is a research problem we will be addressing over the next release cycle.

As such, they offer their users quicker, more responsive release cycles, and lower development costs.

Thing is, some projects have too short of a release cycle.

It's the move to a more incremental, feature based release cycle.

The progression was clear: longer release cycles, more features.

Shorter release cycles would make that kind of development more difficult.

Anyway, I'd love to see the proposed release cycle implemented.
