If we really released major versions every 4-6 months, what about the
last stable version? If only the current and the last version are
supported, this would mean that security/bugfixes are available only to
versions no older than 8 months or so, or said the other way around if I
need a bug fixed stable version I'll have to upgrade to the next major
version after quite a short time. We'd have to support 2-3 versions
older than the current release to cover one year major version
stability, which appears not viable for the community.
Seems we're stuck in the present way, being probably the best that can
be made with limited resources.

Andreas
