We discussed timed releases ages ago and they were rejected by the majority. Time-based releases can make a lot of sense, especially if the interval is short enough. If a feature doesn't make it into the May 2015 release, oh well, there will be another one in X months. Ubuntu has had a lot of success with X=6 time-based releases. That's not to say there aren't plenty of logistics to work out, or that they are a panacea, or even that they would work with an all-volunteer developer community. But time-based releases do have advantages too, and maybe those would outweigh the disadvantages for Python at this point.
