Because that would mean that we would have to start a 2.6.x working
branch for the docs. And all updates in that branch should have to go
into the 'testing'-branch version of the docs too...

Or we would have to ask devs/documenters to NOT add stuff into the
testing-docs about the current master version of QGIS, because there is
a chance that we use he master branch of the docs to create a 2.6.x version.

And this is just not good in my opinion because we should try to
encourage devs to write some documentation (in testing branch)
immediately after they implemented some new feature.

I prefer to have clear release points of the docs (just like with QGIS
itself), to minimize maintaining effort on other branches then current one.
