What I mean are releases like these:

https://vibed.org/blog/posts/vibe-release-0.7.11 (3 days)
https://vibed.org/blog/posts/vibe-release-0.7.28 (16 days)

There are also releases such as 0.7.29 that actually got branched out 
and was stabilized while 0.7.30 was already pushed further along on master.

But such releases were only done if really necessary, because a release, 
despite many things being automated, always has quite some overhead, 
just like maintaining parallel branches has. Depending on the work force 
and the general development speed that may be okay, but currently 
development time unfortunately is a premium.
