I disagree. The fact that we have 1 release per year means there's one
deadline, and if you miss it you have to wait another year for the
feature to be available in official release. That's a lot of pressure
and frustration for developers. With more frequent releases, this issue
gets less serious. Of course, it's not a silver bullet (e.g. does not
change review capacity).

Yes. And there already are threads dealing with this topic.
