You shouldn't pay much attention to the length of the recent 
release cycles.
The last two release cycles were abnormally long. Historically we 
had a release about once a month, then that extended to two 
months. In the last year the cycles became ridiculously long. 
It's been completely unplanned.

But ANY time period you choose would be better than the current 
situation.
