Hi, I do like Sylvain's proposal too. And, from a user perspective, I agree with Kurt that having (at least) 2 "bug fixing only" branches instead of 1 would be great.

The main thing I'd be concerned about with a 6 month cycle would be how short a branch is supported for. Most users will be bound to a specific release for at least 2 years, and we still find bugs in 2.1 2 years since release. The only adjustment I would make would be to support branches for 1.5 - 2 years before EOL.
