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 :
