It would serve nothing and add more things to take care of on maintainers side. Eventhough some parts are scripted, releasing a kernel is a tough work with a long checklist. I'd prefer Greg to continue to release often when he has good fixes than knowing he wastes his time ensuring everything is ready to match everyone's specific expectations.

I tend to agree with your policy, but then you can simply download the signed incremental diffs there : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/incr/
