Yes, I've been wondering about that. I don't have an answer just yet.

To clarify, I meant "shipping production releases" every month. For
example, if someone invents a mega cool plugin in the next month and we
want to include it in a production release of the Windows all-in-one
installer in 3 months say, then we ought to be able to do that without
waiting for the next 6 month production release. I guess it could go in
2.0.1 as a "bug fix" but it's not really one of those.

The example above is a bit extreme, though possible. More realistic
stuff is better documentation (e.g. adding a Desktop User Guide) and/or
more localisations. Upgraded plugins are another likely thing.
