The biggest thing I brought away from the change is that, for the first time in a long time, we have a set time to 'expect' a release. For the last couple years, releases haven't been regular by any means or on any dependable schedule. With reliability/certainly of a schedule, you garner more people looking forward and/or getting excited about an upcoming release and knowing when it comes also allows those people to be able to prepare for a release if they so choose.
In the end, I think it is better for the project and I doubt quality in that actual releases will suffer in this transition.
