Then I'm going to say that I think all releases should be "slow" in
this sense.
Remember, Linux used to have stable-branch releases. It no longer does
because Linus noticed the same failure mode I did. When you start
cherry-picking onto a "safe" branch you increase the expected time to
discovery of any bugs on your unstable branch. This is not a good trade
in the longer term.
