My feeling is part of the solution is to move to a yearly release
cycle. Unlike the early days of Fedora things just aren't changing as
quick in terms of the base of the OS - hardware support in the kernel
is generally excellent, and both Gnome and KDE (and likely the others)
are mature environments that while they improve with each release
there isn't generally anything that says a 6 month wait would be
unbearable - and consideration should also be done to the track record
that given the overall stability of those desktops that upgrades can
likely be done safely mid-Fedora-release.
We need to rebase GNOME within about two months of the new upstream
releases, or we'll lose our edge with the GNOME community. We'd be
ceding our position as best GNOME distro to Ubuntu and Arch. So a
one-year cycle means a major GNOME version update will need to land in
the middle of a release to avoid that. And these do not have a good
reputation for stability. Basically we'll wind up with a bunch of bugs
landing halfway through the release, and without the usual Fedora QA
process to ensure the most important of them get fixed before they
reach users. So I can't support this plan....
