I continue to think that the 9-month cycle was quite okay, but the 8-month one (which was planned to be 6) is fine with me too. As to features, apart from stuff potentially getting requested by our customers or partners, I think I'm personally intending to pretty much stay away from adding new functionality (despite there being quite a number of things I would want to get done) as long as the big list of security exceptions in docs/misc/xsm-flask.txt hasn't shrunk significantly. Considering how long dealing with XEN_DOMCTL_shadow_op alone is taking (admittedly not the simplest one to start with), I fear that process will extend over the entire release cycle, even if I was getting help by others. (And of course it's of no help that the average turnaround on patch acks/ reviews continues to be way longer than it used to be when Keir was still actively working on the project.)
