While I wouldn't be _that_ agressive, on FreeBSD where I maintain GCC in the ports collection, I'm usually tracking our weekly snapshots of release branches and with good experience so far, and also the Linux kernel releases rather often these days. This does not mean that we should switch to weekly release cycles, especially considering resource constraints, but for some classes of users having 4.0.1 a few weeks after 4.0.0, and 4.0.2 after another month sounds like a desirable option.
