Timed releases make perfect sense in any context:
Whatever is in, is in. What is not, goes in the next release.
That's a snapshot, not a release.
It's like a train schedule:
If a fix catches the current train, great. Else it takes the next train.
With a train, they are staffed and sometimes even cleaned when they roll
into the station.
It is an organised endeavour, not a mindless robo-act.
Moreover, even if, it would only work for minor releases.
in the end all fixes reach the destination:
The users get their desired updates on a regular basis. Maybe not in
this, but then in the next release.
IMHO there would be robobuilds of fixes releases without much content,
and it provides no solution for releasing the first release of a branch
at all.
If this all were this simple, nobody would complain about releases, and
just use trunk/main snapshots.
