Emir, The policy is described in the documentation: Oscar-6.0.x is not for production but rather to stabilise the nez architecture. No new features are included. So stable releases are periodical snapshots so i can know exactly what is thé situation when users contact me and also allow me to organize my time.
Moreover, we follow a rather common approach: releases is modifications of the major version (6.x.y versus 7.a.b or 6.1.x versus 6.2.y) are for the inclusion of features and changes of the minor version (6.1.1 versus 6.1.2) are fir bug fixes. Also, you can always continue to use the "stable" version, you will get the bugs fixes but after a delay. Oscar is collection of software so we manage it more like a Linux distribution rather than a standard stand alone software compenent. Anyway, I think the way I manage the releases is fully adapted to the current situation there is nothing to discuss about. It is currently much more interesting to focus on bug fixes rather than project management.
