4-month patch cycle was a lie. It's almost 4.5 months now.

[Koros]

As a side note, cycles aren't even 4 months. Except for 6.1, so far they have been always significantly longer than the promised 4 months. 6.3 took over 4.6 months.

Releases:
6.0 - 7.12.2021
6.1 - 12.4.2022
6.2 - 23.8.2022
6.3 - 10.1.2023
6.4 - 23.5.2023

4 months ~= 121.5 days if we want to be pedantic

Cycles:
6.0-6.1 => 126 days = 4.14 months
6.1-6.2 => 133 days = 4.37 months
6.2-6.3 => 140 days = 4.60 months
6.3-6.4 => 133 days = 4.37 months

Average so far = 133 days = 4.37 months

"The major patch cycle cadence will be adjusted. Previously, it was 1 major patch every 3.5 months. Going forward it will be one major patch every four months. Roughly two weeks longer."

Adding extra 2.5 weeks to what is supposed to be 2 weeks is too rough in my opinion.

Remember when people were saying "what's another 2 weeks"? Now it's another 2.5 weeks. And like a frog in slowly heated water, the players don't realize this gradual change.

Who else is excited for 5-month patch cycles in 7.x!!!
