I honestly don't think it's about the cycle length as much as the slight
fear we seem to have of setting major goals for the project. 

I doubt we can do Topaz within the comfort of our tried and true 6 month
cycle and we do need to decide what Topaz is going to be at some point.
As the honorable Jono Bacon put it, he would hate to go to GUADEC 2007
and have Topaz still be something we talked about rather than actually
worked on. This is likely to require someone to take the probably
unappricated position of Topaz direction manager (or Topaz dictator,
asbestosuit included). 

Basically I think Hub has the right idea but the wrong approach. We need
to start thinking about what we want and if that requires us to extend
the cycle, do things in parallel or whichever solution we need then we
absolutely need to do it.
