For Eclipse as a product it is definitely good to have releases more
often. It will lower the entry barrier (patches could find a way in the
release in less then a year), and will attract new contributors.

BUT at the same time there is Eclipse as a platform, with API
compatibility, with service releases and specific change management
policies, which is totally different from the Eclipse-As-A-Product.

So, maybe the key point is that there is a need for two lines:
- release train, kept as it is currently
- rolling release - it is a product. rather for users then for
developers. New API and features can be withdrawn.
