What is the answer? Is there a solution to this?

I have a string of questions on this:

1. Incidentally, what exactly does constitute a major release?

2. Is there a reason to update the numbers so quickly?

3. Could a higher bar be set to reach a major release than simply 
temporal objectives? One of the differentiating factors between linux 
and FreeBSD is the simple fact that linux distros tend to run so fast 
through the numbers- and while just a matter of perspective, it could 
provide some sense of stability to enterprise users. Weighed against, of 
course, the ability to upgrade easily.

4. If in the case of the former, could some backporting to the stable 
and release branches facilitate an easy upgrade to the next major release?

5. Could binaries be the answer to easier upgrades (customised for 
enterprise users)?

I'd really like to know the OP's thoughts on this...

Cheers
