"It took nearly 3 years for the open source Drupal 7 content management system to hit general availability. The plan for pushing out Drupal 8 is to be faster. How are they going to do that? '"At no point in time will there be more than 15 critical bugs," Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal said. "I will not pull in a big change if we know there are known bugs. This gives us the ability to do timely releases because we know at most the release is only 15 critical bugs away from being ready."'"

With all the work it takes to keep websites current/upgraded and a predicted 2 year cycle, anything faster would push the sanity boundaries.

I'd like to see a really strong core and work done on UX and module development plus better documentation/tutorials. Then perhaps a new stronger core with easier upgrade paths come out every 3-5 years.
