1 month

3 months

4 months
2.2.14 : Released October 3, 2009.
5 months
2.2.13 : Released August 8, 2009.
2 months
2.2.12 : Released July 28, 2009.
1 month
2.2.11 : Released December 14, 2008.
7 months
2.2.10 : Released October 14, 2008.
2 months
2.2.9 : Released June 14, 2008.
4 months
2.2.8 : Released January 19, 2008.

8 months
2.2.3 : Released on July 28, 2006 as GA.
6 months
2.2.2 : Released on May 1, 2006 as GA.
2 months
2.2.0 : Released on December 1, 2005 as GA.
5 months
Now 2.4:
2.4.4 : Tagged on February 18, 2013. Released Feb 25, 2013
2.4.3 : Tagged on August 17, 2012. Released Aug 18, 2012
6 months
2.4.2 : Tagged on April 5, 2012. Released Apr 17, 2012.
4 months
2.4.1 : Tagged on February 13, 2012. Released Feb 21, 2012.
2 months
2.4.0 : Tagged on January 16, 2012, not released.
With 2.4.5 being ~ 5 months.
From all that, the release cycles between 2.2 and 2.4 are NOT
all that much out of whack, although I DO agree that going from 2-4-6
months is a trend we want to avoid and looking for a release every 4 months
or so seems optimal. And, if you look, that is the timing that I've
been trying to push.
