That's not actually true. See:

http://www.boost.org/users/history/

e.g. 1.46.1, 1.34.1, 1.33.1. They've happened less often since we
adopted a regular release schedule.

Distributed is largely irrelevant here, unless there are volunteers to
maintain a stable fork? Improved branching could help, but the idea
seems to be that modularization will change the way releases are
handled.
