New releases for bugfixes

Hello everyone,
Right now when we fix a significant bug in our software that may take a 
while to reach users to to the release schedule of its repo, we contact 
distros and ask them to backport it. This puts the burden on distros to 
react to us. I'm wondering how people feel about KDE instead making 
immediate point releases ourselves. Thus we would take responsibility 
for releasing fixes for our own regressions, and distros that monitor 
KDE infrastructure for new tarballs could be notified automatically.

Thoughts?

Nate
