I appreciate the thought, but

How do you propose to name the successive post 19.15 releases?

Is it really justified to be making multiple releases every couple of
weeks?

Isn't this going to be a distraction from the real goal of a lean &

Putting together a compilable XEmacs distribution is a non-trivial
and time consuming operation.
