No dist-upgrade this. So why do we have a monthly CD
release instead of a monthly kernel package(s)
release?
Because the development release procedure was originally designed
when all the people using them were in a few buildings with high
bandwidth connections around the San Francisco Bay Area, and has
not yet evolved to better fit a world-wide distribution to people
with lower bandwidth.
And it wouldn't just be the kernel - lots of other stuff changes
each build, but almost every package is rebuilt every build, not
just those with source changes like a Linux distro, and no one
keeps track of which have real change and which just have recompiled
bits.
