Personally, I'd like to see us stick better to a solid release
schedule like the above, as it would also help me slot things into
the Ubuntu release timelines, so no complaints here.  As you point
out, it'll make this cycle slightly shorter than 6mo, but if we
keep a time-based schedule going forward, it should work well.
