Actually it isn't because we wouldn't accept features into
8.4-experimental. The only thing we would accept into 8.4-experimental
would be bug fixes that would automatically be ported up to 8.5 (or
perhaps the other way around). We would still continue to build 8.5 as
normal.

We have tried the short release cycle before, it was called 8.2. It
fails, remarkably.
