Yes, this was a fast turn around between editions. Before you knew it, before the ink was dry, this was all the 6e RB was good for:

But tis not likely to happen a second time. From various sources (store owners complaining about drops in sales) GW saw sales drop throughout 6e, woke up, sat up and listened to feedback; thus 7e got hastened along and fixed major issues. Good-bye broken Ally pairs!
This time round, we're likely to go the few years like 4e to 5e to 6e.
Then again, I could be completely talkin' outta muh butt.
