New features cause new bugs. We need a stable release as a backup, as a
reference.

It bothers me indeed.
Let's have a compromise: If 2.2.7 contains bugs, these bugs have to appear
in 2.3.0, too, because 2.2.7 is only a bugfix release for 2.2.6.
I'll go on merging fixes into 2.2.7 and we release a 2.2.7-final without any
RCs together with 2.3.0. Would that be OK for you?
