The estimate of one or two RC periods applies to hardware/ workloads which
everyone has or which wasn't supported by the previous release. For less
widely used hardware/ workloads which has been supported for years already,
it's more like between 2.5 months ( = a mainline kernel release period)
and more than a year ( = two release periods of typical distributions).
