1/2 year, so long? Also in case of fixies/point release ?
(my intuitive understanding was that it is question of automated
building process, when fixies branch is taken and binaries are
compiled/build)

some point in time "decision" must be taken.
Probably this decision is based on some features, which must be
completed before releasing of new version can start ...
