Well, won't know for sure until we see P7 come out, but based on the past history of the company (EF's been around a good long time, lol) they keep to that schedule, pausing once every four versions for a major chunk of work.

I'm inclined to think that it's about right for them, and thinking back to some of the goals that the CL team had, it fits well. Oh, and I agree -- it is too short a cycle. But profit cycles generally fade hard if there isn't a new version in roughly that same period, which makes it hard to fund development. Personally, I think a three year cycle is just about right.
