+You have to choose your public, 6 months is for geeks, 12 months is for 
+everybody, these people who aren't IT technicians.
+The installation of the new release is always something dangerous and 
+worrying because there is always the codecs, the nets or some 
+applications without rpm package. Moreover, the hardware evolution is 
+slowing down and doesn't need so closed together releases.
+I would prefer devs doing more different things less often that devs 
+doing more often the same things, that isn't going ahead. Take care 
+also, not developing things without any documentation, let this 
+specialty to KDE.
+I would like also that devs give more importance to the installation by 
+update than to the new installation  (too much work to configure, desk, 
+mail, ML, nets, backups, specific applications to be installed by hand 
+like Geneanet or Rawtherapee...)
+For all that, 12 months is already very short.
