Keep in mind that the releases aren't necessarily any shorter-cycle
than they've ever been, or shorter than GNOME or Mozilla for example.
The releases are time-based though, that means once the feature freeze
hits, all the RFEs are off the list until the next cycle.
This post relating to GNOME is an explanation of how a time-based
release works:

Thanks for the link. Havoc. Although the gist of it may just be enough to send some
readers scuttling off to Enterprise and leave WS behind.
