I hope we will be able to release 2.06 in 2-3 months. Now I am looking at cutting rc1 shortly. Expect it in the following weeks. Definitely I do not want to make current release cycle a norm. I am going to work on improving it after 2.06 release. I think we will be targeting something between 6-12 months.
