I'm not quite sure what you're saying - are you suggesting that we should release v3.0.0 as soon as possible? We do plan to - I've spent well over a hundred hours recently working on it. For anyone who wants to try it now, it IS available on the devel-3.x.x branch of our repo, but we won't release it (give it a final version number and mark it as stable) until it's ready.

If you mean in general that we should release all our changes as they happen, again, they are available, but we want to provide assurances to users that what they're doing won't break constantly as we change things. That's why we following Semantic Versioning practices in our code, which means only breaking backwards compatibility in major releases.
