I think it's worth saying that the amount of effort it takes to make
maintenance releases -- in particular, the amount of tedious busy work
for you -- is a first-order consideration in this, particularly as you
don't see any value in the change.  It is certainly not reasonable for
everyone who is not directly affected to vote to give you more work, and
it would be perfectly reasonable for you to say that if we went to a
6-month release cycle, others would have to share (or take) the burden
of doing that busy-work.
