Because those bug fixes are intrusive so will potentially cause more
other bugs that will need fixing - so make the kernel a worse not a
better one in the short term.

That would be a bit like waiting for a Debian release and never happen.
I'm trying to imagine this - Linux 2.6 "Debian style" roadmap:
15-VII-2007 - release of Linux 2.6.22
1-VIII-2007 - freeze
15-II-2009 - release of Linux 2.6.23
1-III-2009 - freeze
1-IX-2010 - release of Linux 2.6.24
:)
