For a release there needs to be need. I.e. we won't just release the same code 
over and over, there needs to be meaningful patches. It also takes coordination 
and human power. Releasing is a non-trivial task. You can always use `github: 
'rails/rails', branch: '4.2'` in your gemfile if you need more recent than 
whatever is currently released. If there is a HUGE patch that has been in 
master that you really really want then you need to help raise awareness. You 
could reply to the commit or PR where the patch was introduced, you could post 
on this list.

What is the process for determining when to release the next in the 4.2 series 
(4.2.8)? Is there a generally expected timeframe between releases? Or is it 
waiting on specific fixes?
