I think there is almost no point in 2 week release cycle.
Users want to install operating system, install stable software and  
then they want to install only critical or security bugfixes (support).  
After some time passes they want to upgrade operating system, and i  
don't think they want to upgrade every 2 weeks, so support time should  
be longer (at least 6 month, better more than a year). If we release  
often, a lot of stable grimoires appears and we cannot provide support  
over long period.
