6-month cycle with 12 months of support?

Here at the computer lab we do just fine with Fedora, updating regularly around once a year. Sometimes (if the new bling-bling is shiny enough, and terms allowing) we do update mid-year too. Yes, while all this goes on select machines are running the next version (or even rawhide) for testing. Servers here are on CentOS: Very similar in how they are managed, mostly compatible; but need not be upgraded so stringently (in any case, latest software isn't so much a need here; besides, we mostly upgrade soon after a new CentOS comes out, but it is reassuring to know that you can take your leisure at it).
