I'm entirely on the same page with you.
A 1 year release schedule and using OBS and Tumbleweed to satisfy the needs for those needing more up-to-date software seems perfect to me.
Let's be honest - if you want the latest, 6, 8 or 12 months - it's all too slow so you use Tumbleweed anyway. If you want stable, 12 months is better than 8 is better than 6. Simple.
if it happens to help our release engineering, awesome too ;-)
All very logical and I support it as well from a practical standpoint as a user. The downside of this, however, is less marketing noise. We'll only promote the release once a year instead of up to 2 times a year. We'll slip on Distrowatch (for those that care, I don't care about Distrowatch.) And while marketing may not be an issue of interest in this particular list, less noise does create less attraction to future potential contributors and developers. Not saying that's a reason we shouldn't reconsider changing our gameplan. Just putting it out there that it will be one area definitely affected (for good or bad.)
