Because when people want software, they want it *now*. If you tell
them, "well, you have to wait two months to install that software, even
tho the software it already out now" then they're going to (rightly)
switch to an OS that doesn't suffer from a complete lack of backward or
forward compatibility.
I can assure you the time between a release being dogfoodable and it
hitting the end-users disks is much more than two months for those other
OSs.
Two months is quite acceptable for a beta period. In fact it's quite
fast - why do you thing Oracle and friends were screaming at RedHat for
a slower release cycle ?
