Worthless updates

And make regression fixes wait for 2 weeks? Very bad plan. (And no matter 
how much testing you do, there will ALWAYS be regressions discovered in 
stable.)

It'd also suck for things which get frequently updated, e.g. KDE bugfix 
upgrades. Depending on schedules, we might be already working on the next 
KDE when the previous one finally gets pushed.

And in addition, it'd suck for our users which would get a huge update 
taking hours, or even days if their connection is slow, instead of frequent 
updates taking a couple minutes each. For many people, especially with 
slower connections, this is a dealbreaker.

Not really. The trivial updates would still go out, you'd just get a ton of 
trivial updates once a month.
