But the short release cycle is there to avoid the need of bugfix releases -
because we learned in the past that we don't have enough (interested and
skilled) people to maintain the backports and we also miss a scheme to test
them before we apply them.

And IMHO a year too long to wait for new features in a release anyway.

Four months is a compromise between avoiding bugfix releases and getting new
features released.
