Consider the case where a new large functionality is implemented, with sponsoring. The functionality is so large that a backport is out of the question. The sponsor would have to wait several months to have it in a stable release... how much funding is the project as a whole going to lose by using a one year cadence? The other issue I see are backports. I have been doing some backports to 2.18.x lately, and the theme has been... conflicts, conflicts, and more conflicts. Not too hard to fix, thankfully, but plenty of them. A one year cadence would mean, the maintenance series will be as much as 2 years behind main. Ouch....
