Ack, I'm not used to seeing it written in a single word

These releases see some very limited testing and mostly serve
as synchronization points for deprecation notices and for other projects
such as external distributions.
I'm curious: why?
<IMHO>
It shows how our concept of "release" differs from the usual meaning. Most of the releases I see on the internet are (or try to be) stable versions for anyone to use, whereas master is considered unstable. Here, however, the releases are merely a tag on a specific commit, and there's no further development on them. So, if a problem is discovered after a release has been done, it is either not corrected at all on said release (usually for minor bugs) or, if a bug is severe, the release has to be redone (see v4.8.1). coreboot master may see breakage from time to time, but it usually works.
</IMHO>
I may have written nonsense above. If so, please let me know. Thanks.
