For non-rolling distros, at some point you have to stop and release. A mix of new features and bug fixes aren't going to be allowed in. We (Kubuntu) have been delivering KDE SC point releases as post-release updates to our users for most (maybe all) KDE4 releases. That's over with KF5. We'll, I guess, have to settle for cherry picking fixes and doing our best.
