Sorry for trolling... But please consider making only one release per year... 9 months is odd enough... and resource wise it sounds like it makes things harder. With OBS backing up, people would still be able to update or install extra repos easilly.
I don't think it's trolling, I think it's a legitimate idea and it has been brought up before. We have essentially two main target user groups of openSUSE: people who want something solid and stable (for servers or home systems). These are the folks running 11.4 or 11.1 even, still. Then we have people who want the latest and greatest. They run tumbleweed and/or have lots of OBS repo's. I still feel we would do both groups more justice with more emphasis on tumbleweed and a 1-year release cycle.

Btw. we have two ways to go back to the normal iteration - going to March 2013 or even July 2013,
That would redefine what the .x means, although it has no technical impact and perhaps we shouldn't spend too much time worrying about it, but here's what .x currently means.
.1 = November .2 = July .3 = March
Pushing back 12.3 to July 2013 would obliterate what the .x means. Again, no technical impact, just a marketing one, which should be the least of our concerns in this context right now.
In fact, I think in the long term, we're going to have to drop what .x means logically because our lesson learned here is that the new definition we voted upon became broken after only just one successful release date (12.1).
