I don't think that it would lessen the burden on anyone. And as long as
our quality of our stable releases is like they are, we need the first
couple of point releases early.

I would feel compelled to be much more on top of branch and maybe do
branch updates when it fits my schedule rather than just wait for the
next scheduled release, because it comes too late.

and then I end up snapshotting other people's code maybe in a state
where they weren't ready to do it.
