So a one year release cycle with lots of app backports (and maybe a kernel
backport mid-cycle if there is important new hardware support) is IMHO the
best release cycle for 'normal' users.
Just take a look to Windows XP users. Almost 10 years of bugfixes and
patches almost without any mayor change in the OS. But XP is still on
the road. And it's because you can have the latest software "and"
hardware in your ten years old OS.
I'm not saying that Mageia should last ten years. But IMHO that "XP
case" is a valid example.
Sure, when we will have the money of Microsoft, and the team they have
for QA, I am sure we will be able to do it too...
Precisely for that latter reason a fork was not a good idea, in my
opinion : better fuse, merge, unite with other distros than create new
little projects...
(sorry, I am going out immediately...)
