If every week a new kernel comes out that has to fix something like a forgotten comma, then you would probably be in trouble, right? I mean, bugs are "natural", you can't write code this big without them, that's why it would be nice to test it a little more before putting it in the stable-kernel-directory. Afterall, every bug-fix is very likely to introduce a new bug =)
