I think you're underestimating exactly how much time is needed to even make these episodes. Sure, I'll be the first to admit that 5 ~ 6 minutes episodes downright suck, but considering that Monty Oum has about 1 week (maybe even less, since they'll have to debug, redo parts that conveyed the incorrect message etc) to create them it's not exactly easy, plus the other series like Red vs Blue.

The guy's schedule already sounded insane before RWBY, and he had to work solo for the majority of the episodes (kinda like a manga artist, whose life is just about as hectic) since there are stuff that no one but him can do. The fight scenes in the trailers are good examples.

Point is, I was half-expecting them to fail the schedule (I was honestly shocked when they announced to have 10 minutes-ish episode per week, when Dead Fantasy 2 had took months and years to produce that same length of non-stop fight scenes even though the scale is different - are they trying to commit murder?) from the very beginning. Someone in Rooster Teeth must be really underestimating the effort to actually make these episodes. 5 ~ 6 minutes actually sounds far more sane than their initial promise, so do expect future episodes to be between this length.
