Of course, a bump in the major version number would require manual intervention for such a release, but that shouldn't require more than a push of a button.
I don't think that that would work with real programs. You'd still need at least string freezes for translators.
Basically, the primary reason to write free software should be the fun the programmers have. If it takes a little longer to release doesn't really matter. Sure, it shouldn't take forever, after all you want some feedback before forgetting that fancy new feature you wrote. But complicating matters so much that it's just another day job and no longer the fun hobby is surely a bad idea and going to drive away contributors.
