Another problem is that it's very debatable whether users (as opposed to developers) want a fast release cycle. Some of that reluctance to update might dissipate if we had a better upgrade-in-place story, but by no means all of it. People don't want to have to retest their applications every six months.
Or even more than once every few years. This is a consideration that is often ignored in our discussions, unfortunately.
