The releases happen more or less on a calendar schedule, not by the

This allows revenue stream from subscriptions, and a sense that
progress is being made.
And, yes, features do migrate from -CURRENT if deemed safe enough
and if there is enough demand. You'll see the phrase MFC on some
changes to the -STABLE branch; that stands for "Merged From Current".
