The recent change to having a releaes every 4-5 weeks is a small modification of the existing practice of having a new version every 6-8 weeks.
The 6-8 week schedule is about a decade old now. It's original goals were to help ensure that unrelated features didn't block each other from releasing, and make releases more consistent, which helps localization, testing, and project management. In that regard I think it's been very successful.
It's probably not worth nitpicking a decade old decision though.
