Funnily enough, my view is that 3 months would be more relaxed, because there's less stress to rush a new feature if it's not ready when there's a new release cycle imminent. Likewise, this was suggested on the basis of master being kept relatively stable, with new features mainly being developed in branches until they're ready for wider testing. With cherry-picking of changes from master into the release branch (like is happening now), I don't see why all these things cannot happen in parallel. A bit more Release Early, Release Often, with some NetCAT still in the mix! ;-) I think I'm up to 4c.
