Remembering hta last time this came up, it seems the general agreement 
was that 2 months is a very serviceable tradeoff between necessary

shorter.  But the occasional maverick contest might liven things up.  A 
longer running theme in addition to the regulars, or have one or two 
themes a year traditionally released early.
