[.4, .5, .6 and .7 follows after .2 and .3]

I've seen the bunch of patches posted for review - split to several
series.  But - out of curiocity - what's the reason to roll each
series into each own stable release?  Can't all .2...7 be combined
into a single release (not counting .8 wich contains urgent security
fixes)?  (I mean, not with already rolled out stuff, but the original
reasoning for split-releasing them (as opposed to split-reviewing))

Thanks.
