I think you're missing the reality that intermediate releases have about zero 
uptake in the real world. We have had milestone releases of Nova for years, but 
I challenge you to find me one non-trivial deployment that uses one of them. To 
my knowledge, based on user surveys, it is only the major 6-month named 
releases that are deployed, and even then, some time after their release.

Integrated releases make sense for deployers. What does it mean if Nova has 
some new stuff, but it requires a new release from Cinder in order to use it, 
and Cinder hasn't yet released the necessary updates? Talking about releasing 
projects on a monthly-tagged basis just dumps the problem of determining what 
works with the rest of the codebase onto the deployers.
