I'd be careful with comparisons with the Linux kernel. First it's a
single bit of software, not a collection of interconnected projects.
Second it's at a very different evolution/maturity point (20 years old
vs. 0-4 years old for OpenStack projects). Finally it sits at a
different layer, so there is less need for documentation/translations to
be shipped with the software release.

The only comparable project in terms of evolution/maturity in the
OpenStack world would be Swift, and it happily produces releases every
~2months with a 1-week stabilisation period.
