It's worth noting that we've thought about doing "quick" major releases
in the past, without much success: originally, 7.4 was going to be
"Win32 + PITR, released in a few months", and look how that turned out
:-)
Since the cost of migrating to a new major release is more-or-less
constant (you need a complete initdb+reload whether the release took 3
weeks or 3 years), I'm still not in favour of a short release cycle. But
in any case, the whole debate is somewhat academic unless someone does
the work to get PITR and Win32 done very quickly.
