I only test the beta and the RC's. I don't see why that would change if there are changes to the release cycle.
And this is what most people do - now you can calculate how many months without much testing we add to factory - and remember that tumbleweed takes things from factory, so basically the testing would happen in tumbleweed -> breaking things.
But the goal is a more stable end result, not a more stable factory, is it? I mean, Factory will never be stable unless we'd never put rc's and beta's etc in there and even then it'd be problematic. But I guess you argue that a more stable factory leads to more stable results. Ok, so you say for development, 6-8 month cycle = better. For users, I'd argue, a 1 year cycle is better (provided we keep delivering stuff via OBS). But that's more of a marketing thing then - that we might bet more users and thus, in time, more testers and developers is not guaranteed.
