Sure, it's possible that a "two month" release cycle might not be possible to achieve in some cases due to the nature of the changes that have occurred. However, that's not to say that it's never possible. Furthermore, we can be selective about the changes that are integrated during a particular release cycle, and changes that require disproportionate amounts of testing can be bumped from the current release cycle (for later integration, at a time that does not interfere with the release of well tested features).
