I tend to agree, the 9 month cycle worked wonderfully, Fedora Core 5 is
by far the best release the Fedora Project has put out yet and as a
tester I enjoyed having that extra time to see new fundamental changes
take place and get bugs tracked down.

If the new init system can be delivered this cycle I would love to see
it, I don't see 9 month cycles being a price to pay, more likely it's a
benefit for most everybody (opinion taken from the most reliable source
in the world.. my backside).

But let's get a clear roadmap down this time, what features are
essential for the next cycle?
