Lifespan of a WordPress version – WP Engineer
A simple, but illuminating, visualization of the WordPress release cycle from WP Engineer.
An aside: Over the life of WordPress, a major release has come out (on average) every 200.5 days. If the core devs manage to stay on schedule, it’ll be interesting to see what the rapid release of 3.7 & 3.8 do to that average.
