Why the experimental branch updates so rarely?

[wispy eagle]

Can we discuss why the experimental branch updates so rarely?

For example, they changed the M16 model, why can’t it be sent straight to the experimental branch?
Why put together a big package of changes?

It seems to me that if they came out more often, a culture would form where many people come to test the update and share more feedback

Now it turns out that we need to look at too many things and their integration in a short period of one month

I'd say something inappropriate but... Nah.

Every release is work and possible complications. People need to do special playtests, writing of changelogs, devblogs, servers preparation and thousand of other, smaller things.
If we don't do release, we can focus on developing internal version.

Thanks for the answer.
I understand it.

But if you do this less often, some information will be forgotten and it will be easier to make a mistake when there is a lot of data

Too frequent updates will constantly break the mods, those who like the mods will be dissatisfied

So in the end the mods will still be broken
And this way there will be more time to fix them on the experimental branch
