That is my point as well.

The two lines were made that way for that very reason.

We give the enterprise users the version that is not the most cutting 
edge and offer the new version to those who are willing to test/use the 
new cutting edge line till it is ready for the enterprise users to have it.

We all should realize that we will not want enterprise user to use the 
.0 through .2 or .3 versions.  So we give then the previous line's .4 
through .5, .6, or .7 versions.  Then we offer them the new line when it 
is ready and then drop the older line.  When the old line is dropped, 
then we start working on a newer line.

For enterprise users we could do the following:

3.5 line till its end of cycle.
3.5.7 comes out next week

     then go to
3.6.4 comes out in Dec. 2013
     or wait till
3.6.5 come out in Feb. 2013
3.6.6 comes out in April 2013

     then go to
3.7.4 in May 2013
     or wait till
3.7.5 in August 2013
