This was necessary as the project started, but as Kata matures, this adds unnecessary burden on release process of project infra folks as well as a shorter window of support for the stable branches for user.

The idea of spacing major releases out makes sense to me, yes. As long
as we keep a fixed period release cadence, we're fine.
