Should VirtueMart follow Joomla's release schedule?

[iWim]

After the release of VM4.4.4, a minor update with major concequenses, I've been thinking.

Should VirtueMart follow Joomla's release schedule?
Would it prevent the isImage bug? Perhaps not. But it would prevent it from happening in a security update.

Minor Z updates: every 6 weeks, bugfixes
Major Y updates: every 6 months, bugfixes & new features
New X version: every 24 months, bugfixes, new features & BC breaks

I understand that no release schedule is perfect.
The beauty of the Joomla release schedule, I find, is that it's at regular interval and you can plan fixes and updates around it.

I know they are also working on VM for WP, but WP does not really have a release schedule (AFAIK).
