I don't see how that would slow the release process. Unless we suddenly adopt a stance where we do not release a new version until ALL bugs in the previous release are fixed the time to make a release would be the same. That said, thanks to PECL we can also simply use the last stable version if the current version of the extension is buggy, unstable, etc... I would imagine that while a number of users compile their own php an even greater number uses the packaging system of their favorite OS. Meaning that their idea of upgrade is something along the lines of "apt_get php". The changes we make would only affect the maintainer, who I am sure can figure what to do.
