Neither of those choices fits my needs. I want new versions more
often than every 2 years, but I can't affort the time of monthly
upgrades. 

I really like the 6 month cycle, and it was one of the main reasons
why I switched to Ubuntu in 2004. It keeps a good balance between
bledimng edge and stable working environmemnt.

Beeing a developer myself I see the burden that this cycle is for the
developers. But beeing a user I see it as one of the main features of
Ubuntu.
