Because it doesn't apply.  "Release early, release often" is for
bleeding edge developers.  For a system like the Linux kernel, where
it's nearly impossible to check out a consistent version from CVS,
daily or weekly snapshot releases are a good idea.  With Zope,
bleeding edge developers have access to CVS, so there's no need for
such "releases".

A bugfix release for Zope 2.6.0, named Zope 2.6.1, was planned for
this week.  But yesterday, three new bugs in 2.6.0 were reported, and
we'd like to fix those too.  With the holidays, it'll be next week.
