Not if it's rushed out the door to quickly. I would rather see a 9 month cycle.
Note that 11.1 has more betas, more rcs and much longer feature freeze period than the previous releases. That should be more decisive for the quality of the released product than the length of the total cycle.
Unless someone comes up with some craziness of ZMD proportions, my biggest worry regarding 11.1 is missing out on major upstream releases like OOo 3.0, KDE 4.1.x-releases, KOffice2, Amarok2 and such.
OO 3.0 should easily make it, even though it is not released until
mid-Sept its feature frozen before that and should get an exception for
version bump after submission if necessary.
