Users demand a know really stable system, and with a dynamic system we can't guarantee the same stability as we can with a release that has been tested for a while without any updates which might mess up testing. Also, having versioned released is something that CD vendors want to have. If we only had an ever changing semi-stable they could only sell snapshots, which means they can't produce a large number of CDs, costs will go up and they will switch to selling CDs of other distributions instead.
