Why is everyone so afraid of running -STABLE? Plenty of stuff gets MFC'd. Yeah, I agree -- running -RELEASE is difficult. Hell, it's frustrating to us that VMWare only supports -RELEASE and it took until ESX 5 to officially support 8.2!

More releases / snapshots of -STABLE helps people on physical servers, but anyone who runs VMs on Xen or VMWare won't get any support for those versions because they didn't go through the QA process yet. FreeBSD is increasingly becoming a third world citizen thanks to virtualization efforts being focused on Linux, so I feel that more frequent releases won't help as many people as you think.
