I do not know who are the "people" but the release process is pretty
clear on that. We decided not to allow features additions to ease
developers life, like not having to do dozen of tests to know which
minor versions added what. It is also why we have yearly releases,
reduce the delay between accepted features and actual availability in
a release.

Please not that the release process was approved after 5.3 and applied to 5.4+.
