That's the exact problem with most of the release ideas proposed here, they are terribly inefficient. The schedule proposed by Andrew only requires one maintenance branch (point releases) besides the regular beta releases from master. Backporting to a single stable branch should be within our budget.
It is no different than supporting one LTS backporting branch and current actual release branch. Only difference from proposed model is that by calling it "release" you are taking certain responsibilities to get in at least a bit usable shape at the point of release.
DMD releases may have never been stable but they are _much_ more stable than usage of git master HEAD.
