I think to really address that problem, you need to think about shorter
release cycles overall, like every 6 months.  Otherwise, the current 12

I agree.  I am in favor of a shorter release cycle.
I'm not.  I don't think there is any demand among *users* (as opposed to
developers) for more than one major PG release a year.  It's hard enough
to get people to migrate that often.

I agree.

Another problem is that if you halve the release interval, you either
double the amount of work spent on maintaining back branches, or halve
the support lifetime of a branch.  Neither of those is attractive.

I *really* *really* agree.
