You gave just one disadvantage of this proposal and no advantages at
all. Why do you think the above is a good idea? I, for one, do not like
waiting a month to get bug fixes that are not security-related. We are
not RHEL or Microsoft or Adobe. I'm convinced that having bug fixes
available as soon as they're ready is valuable (even if you choose to
wait before installing them). Also, as was pointed out elsewhere in this
subthread, updates get tested only after they're released to stable very
often, so it's also valuable to get the feedback earlier rather than in
a month.
I keep hearing different opinions on update frequency, and it suggests
a discoverable dial is needed on the users' end of this equation.
