Because people want a reasonable period of support for released code.
And we can only support a small handful of releases. So increasing the
release cadence to two per year would limit the bugfix lifetime of each
release to 2 years instead of four.
I think a compromise is that we should be free to release major features
at any six month boundary, but June/July releases would be skipped if
we had nothing major in the pipeline. That way we'd have up-to 2 releases
per year, but perhaps still have only one release per year some of the time.
