Every 2 months? I do not remember that.

The first clause doesn't sound accurate. 6.0 was released at the end of Feb. 
With a 6 month cadence, it's 2 months off schedule.

It is inaccurate as we had planned to do releases every 2 months or so.


Isn't the schedule 2 releases a year: major in Jan, minor in Jul?
