I don't know if a 6 month cycle would not put too much stress on the dev/packager community. But 12 months are a bit much for the hordes of impatient users usually residing in the forums. So I would - for now - prefer option 2, 9 months seeming a reasonable time span.
Especially since we would always be able to change that cycle to something more fitting. As to the "rolling" and the "lts" discussion. I think it's something for the future. We first have to see, how much manpower we really have, to maintain the distro. I woul then kind of like the idea of a special rolling repo like debian testing or suse tumbleweed. Oliver
