Six month releases mean that two releases fit in a year and so,

I would actually prefer April, October. May seems too close to the
summer and November too close to the "lets get some last features done
on this years budget". Then again one could say such a feature is the
upgrade to the latest version.
Related logistical note: Drupal 8 is currently looking at code freeze 1
April next year. However, I think it's a fair bet that we'll want to
ship on 2.3 LTS, not on 2.2, which would go out of support well-before
Drupal 8 does. We'll need to coordinate between Fabien (and whoever
else is relevant) on the Symfony side and Dries/catch (the Drupal 8
leads) on the Drupal side to see how we want to handle that. Since
we'll likely be chasing master until then we may be able to just make an
exception to our code freeze for Symfony 2.3.
No action needed right now; I'm just flagging it as a discussion point.
I'll try looping in the Drupalers on my side. I cannot speak for the
release schedule of other Symfony-using projects.

Confirmed that there's no issue on the Drupal end with this plan. We'll
chase master basically until 2.3 is released, then pin to that for
Drupal 8.0.
The caveat is that Drupal 8 is likely to remain in support for more than
3 years, so we're not sure if we should be chasing 2.x releases even if
they're non-LTS, see about a longer 2.3 lifetime, or what.
What is your support commitment with Drupal 8?
Fabien
