I've been in both situations of missing the 12 month boat, and rushing to get something in before the boat leaves port, and it's terrible.

that said I think 4 weeks is a real short release cycle. 3 months, so 4 releases a year -- one for each season. Would seem to strike a better balance.

Firefox has been on a 6 weeks cycle for a few years now, clearly they found that short release suited them, and that it was if anything too long. Different strokes and all that.

It's not like features go straight from master -> release in 4 weeks. Changes have to go through developer-edition and beta channel first before landing in the release channel.
