<PRE>I made another post in a different thread about the way I feel the release cycle should go. After more thinking I do think that I really have the right idea and here is why...
Going the route of release cycles really does not make this distribution fit into anything. You going to try and appeal to new people? Ubuntu has that covered and you will never steal that role. Hoping to become a geek type distro? There are many that have that covered. 
The best thing you can do as a team is try to come up with something that makes you stand apart from the crowd. I never understood the release cycle model anyhow, whats the goal of that? To show off the latest tech in the open source world? Really? With Slackware and Fedora and Suse and hosts of other flavors of GNU/Linux all doing the same thing?
What do we have that others don't? We have something new that can be great if planned right. There are 100's of distros releasing in cycles, let's get out of that and truly showcase the best of open source through:
Unstable branch - absolute latest software here...Rolling unstable - Still risky but not on the lines of unstableRolling stable - everyday use and very stable 
You could throw in "snapshots" and support those for X amount of time as I have posted in the other place if you wanted (based on rolling unstable). You could also have LTS releases based on Rolling stable.... It's up to you.
I don't believe we need yet another "burn new disk every X months for????" distribution.
