Re: 【ANN】【RYO】【Cryptonight-heavy】 RyoCurrency - Privacy for everyone
Well, as far as I know, Monero has scheduled hardforks every six months. They are mostly important for the miners, I am not sure whether users really have to go along with every single one.
The basic idea is that you have a given schedule to follow. Miners know what to look for and you have the ability to push just about anything if needed.
I'm not sure whether Ryo said anything about adopting this mechanism, though.

This is correct, RyoCurrency hasn't committed to anything specific with regard to scheduled hardforks and as noted above will work to minimize the number of forks taking place but it should be understand that some of the more foundational technological improvements coming down the road to the P2P system under the hood could necessitate them as well.
This means it could be a good idea to have a regular hardfork schedule to ease users (mostly miners) in. I think I would do something like that if I knew that hardforks are necessary in the future. On the other hand, having a "hardfork" with no substantial change whatsoever serves as big colourful flags for lack of development
