As long as there are people who have a vested interested in putting the 
time into releasing them. There is no official timeframe.

Updates will be released as long as someone somewhere wants to put the 
time into getting them out the door. To that end, we're getting a server 
up and hosted towards the end of the year that will host the build 
environment and probably some fanout logic for the various mirrors ('er 
what mirrors??? )...
