OT, but not such a good analogy :-).

Linux has to spent quite some time elaborating on whether he should 
release in 2-week or 2-year cycles, if there is to be a parallel 
development and stable branch and when/how often branching is supposed 
to happen. He also has to justify and make clear whether he will put out 
security fixes for released versions or not.

The topic on when he actually followed his own plans is a different 
topic :-).
