Hello, the proposal does not look feasible to me at all. The multiplication of effort required to do what you propose is huge, and the advantages are nothing more than a "service pack", which users can get by simply installing online updates, which seems more rational to me. The eight month release cycle was decide some time ago to *reduce* the workload and to improve the quality of the release. I think it is working in this direction, as a consequence I don't believe that adding intermediate releases will improve the global quality of the release.

Drew there's two aspects : First numbering is now fixed, and please don't come back to this before 2020 :-) ... Your proposal is pretty good (should have been proposed two months ago), but imply human power to release each iso. So such future proposal, should be made, once a real team of people is able to manage it, and for several years. (ask coolo how much time / work is needed for each release) Otherwise we will just make a new long thread of words.
I'm feel so sorry now :-)
If someone comes with good idea before versions are applied is still good time, specially that current decision is made between our own identity and accepting numbering applied by other distros, nothing that really improves user experience.
Making release with software that already has patches and patches are tested as good is not that much work as stabilizing factory.
For me major improvement is that users downloading media will get one installation media to download plus modest number of patches that are released since last version, which is substantial improvement over current system where installation of released version is followed with hundreds of MB of download for updates.
This may not be a problem at home where you have thick download pipe and hours to do installation and updates, but at friends site shorter is better. You come with patched DVD and in one hour you are done, including first steps how to use. No distribution offers this now, and as they don't have OBS they will need some time to catch up.
+100, yes I can change my mind ... As I've said, if it's REALLY feasible, and his better than the actual or near future. Do it!
