If Linus were to go straight from merge window to merge window, with stabilization happening in parallel, then there would be no stable basis at the start of each merge window and bugs can just pile up.
Speeding things up could lead to the same kind of code quality issues we used to have in the 1.3, 2.1, 2.3 and 2.5 kernel series.
Slowing down regularly is good, not bad.
