[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle?

Here's the result of the German community.
+After the initial opening of the poll there was a discussion with more
+than 40 postings, still going on. Involved were people actively using
+ArchLinux, members of our packaging team and interested users. Voters
+had the chance to alter their vote during the discussion, which was
+used by some who learned more about "rolling release" during the
+discussion.
+
+
+* Exactly as Mandriva, 6 months release cycle     4%
+* Exactly as Mandriva, 12 months release cycle   20%
+* 6 months cycle for core, rolling release model for other software  13%
+* 12 months cycle for core, rolling release model for other software 41%
+* Rolling release     22%
+
+With 54 % this is a majority for the "rolling light" model (where the
+12 months cycle for core received the most votes). Remarkable is the
+fact that the Mandriva release cycle (6 months) came in last.
