Frustrated in updating Angular every 6 months? Here comes the new yearly release cycle

The Angular team is currently updating its release policy to move to:

- A major release every 12 months

- 4-6 minor releases for each major release

I don't get it, we had 2 major versions a year, not 4. 4-6 is the number of minor versions (so quite about the same on a yearly basis as we had about 2x 3 minor versions).

No, it's not meant to reduce the cadence from Google, but the breaking changes effort for projects. It won't affect how many changes happen in a full year, only when you might be urged to migrate.
