If we reverse your example of increasing time, the good way is to decrease time
between 2 versions and finally made nothing
Maybe 6month it's a good frequency for the developer, but it's not for the
users and our customers who don't want to upgrade his ERP every 6 month for
only 50 new features each (ok 3.7 version have a little more)
Another bad point is the timing of the January major release : many users are
in installation and start using Dolibarr who have just installed at the end of
year
My position is to change the planning and add a release candidate (RC) between
the beta and the stable version. RC version is an official test version for
customer
We diffuse it on Dolibarr website download area between the stable and
pre-release (Besides the alpha and beta version posted on the download area is
3.6 not 3.7)
RC version will permit of dolibarr user (not only developer user to made more
test)
propose the following roadmap
mai YYYY - Beta Release (version A.B.0 beta) (freeze)
june YYYY - Release Candidate (version A.B.0 RC)
August YYYY - Major Release (version A.B.0)
September YYYY - Major Release (version A.B.1)
october YYYY - Alpha Release (version A.B+1.0 alpha)
with 8 month for development and 4 month for test

Having more time to test will not change anything. If you have more time, you
will have also more regression and motre things to test.
In fact, if time between 2 release is increased by 2, the time neeed to test
and upgrade a module is increased by 4 and time required for beta is also
increased by 4 instead of 2 making finally less time to have a stable version
to make quality tests.
That's why more and more projects are making rolling released (so a released
every month and even weeks). But I think 6 month is a good frequency to not
have to wait to long to get new features.
Also a roadmap must be followed as announced other wise it has no senses to
have roadmap.
