We do have a 2 year support cycle, so people don't *have* to jump to the next version out.
Historically Novell has been providing two years of security updates for openSUSE releases. (Support is something different.) This is not cast in stone, though.
The downside of course is with a 6-month cycle, we have 4 versions to support in a 2 year support cycle. Actually 5 if you consider the support going into the development of the next version.
The maximum I feel we should do is two releases plus two months of overlap between N-2 and N.
I think the focus of discussion should be more about how we can improve the experience, thus making people likelier to participate earlier on.
