The important bit is to have someone stand up and build the 
necessary testing infrastructure. I am to blame for not having 
done much on this front yet, due to heavy work load.

Time base release schedules work fine, no matter how tight, but 
you require good infrastructure to find regressions and revert if 
necessary. If people accept that deltas can be very small and 
that reverts will happen to remove an unstable feature, than a 
6-week time based release schedule is fine. In fact I believe 
there is a lot to gain from it.
