Perhaps so more people could try the development releases without requiring them
to build it themselves?

But that said, I'm not sure a 1-1 development-to-stable release schedule is
necessarily the right way to go either since there may be features in progress
on the development branch that aren't ready for prime-time when a new stable
release is made.
