Suggestion: Regular Update Schedule

Since the 5.XX versions, I am a regular user of this distribution as it is unparalleled in its usefulness as a system rescue toolkit. But especially nowadays, I am concerned regarding the irregular update cadence of the images. 14 versions were released in 2020, 8 versions in 2021, 7 versions in 2022, and only 3 versions in 2023.

To avoid the continuance of this downward tendency and to provide more constancy for your users, I would like to propose a fixed release schedule with at least quarterly updates.

In my opinion, 4 releases per year are enough to provide new software updates in a system rescue environment, but less than that could become problematic in a time, where security vulnerabilities are appearing in a myriad of important software all the time.
