Just to make it clear, nobody is proposing to make any changes to the frequency of releases. Point releases will be every 4 months, bug fix releases still monthly on the LTR versions (if there are any fixes), weekly and nightly builds etc. will just continue exactly as they do at the moment.

BTW I also live in a bandwidth impoverished society and share your desire for minimising bandwidth, but short of delta updates (which we don't have the resources to implement at the moment) there isn’t much room for optimising in my opinion.
