And a 6 month release schedule means you have to keep around and implement workarounds in your libraries for old bugs. You can't just target git-head for your users, you have to target the latest stable version. The release cycle right now is so slow that most of the time I'm just using git-head, but I still end up having to implement workarounds for the last stable version when I publish code. If the release cycles were more frequent then I wouldn't have to use bleeding-edge.
