But no simpler.

that is like saying a cure for cancer should be a cure for
cancer. Fine. How do you know it is a cure and how do you know what
the side effects will be.
If life could ever be that simple we wouldn't need _any_ branches.
A lot of testing goes into what becomes a release. People using the
RELEASE branch have a reasonable expectation that it will have been
tested to that standard. That amount of testing can't be done for
every fix applied to the STABLE branch. Occasionally there will be a
fix which will break something else that no one thought to
test.
Basicly, you can't have somethign which is stable and which gets fixed
quickly, the two aims are in opposition.
