Sure -- but we also don't want to look old on release and make people
unhappy by breaking their systems wit the updates in the first days
after the release.

I wouldn't call two months "just before the release" in the modern world
-- especially for a component like the kernel, as it has a really well
established and running development process and someone at the top of
the food chain that really yells at people when they try to sneak in big
or ugly changes :-)
