Well, one thing is for sure: It has to short of a life time. :-)

Anyway, even if they did say that the intention was to have three releases a 
year, I can't imagine them even been able to make two. FC1 came by beginning 
of November, and even if they have said there will be a second release in 
May, I doubt they are going to make it before July.

Anyway I have to see how the upgrades perform, because depending on that is 
how bad an idea it is to upgrade each 6 months (RedHat had some bad upgrade 
issues in the past).
