He does every couple months and leaves it open for a few weeks.
Then, just to keep us guessing, he releases it with a 2.6 name ;-)

Actually, I think the system is working quite well.  We've got a quick
route for getting bug fixes and security fixes to users, and a shorter
devel cycle helping distro folks get more regular drops from upstream.

I think it's working extremely well. When it comes to security fixes, I want them as soon as possible. There's no sense batching them.

The only thing to be careful of is that -stable fixes (or complete reworks) get merged with mainline, so the trees don't go out of sync. So far this seems to have been OK.

As I recall these patches may or may not go into mainline. The next full release may address the problem in a whole new way.
