Aside from life keeping you busy until you realize it's that time of the year again, I believe it's just the short development cycle and is no coincidence that this has been happenning more often since getting into a yearly schedule. In my observation, adoption rates are slower than the release cycle and so it's kind of like ... I barely got to enjoy the shiny new thing and the next feature freeze is already happening. And then also, we're always eager to get our idea in before feature freeze, but that's hard to achieve unless we come up with it in January or earlier, but since everybody's naturally got their eyes set on version.next, few people think about X.Z before X.Y is released. I don't know if this can be fixed though. It's just hard to keep up with schedules on side projects and let's face it - PHP is nobody's primary job, so any work spent on it is by definition a side project.
