I don't think so.  I would say the same for VM.  GNUS has its own
release schedule and development track.  So does VM.  Since I
reinvolved myself in XEMacs developemnt I have been tailoring VM
releases for XEmacs releases as XEmacs release dates draw nigh.
But beyond that, things start getting itchy.

An example: VM 6.31 has code in it that I'm 70% sure stimulates
a display bug in XEmacs' tty code.  I'd like to release 6.31 but
I have a feeling it will mean bug reports in the XEmacs camp.
I'm sure that I don't want 6.31 distributed with 20.2 for this
reason.  I'd like to fix XEmacs, but we're close to release and
I'm not at all sure about that stability of the patch.  But the
code in 6.31 makes VM less buggy in a multi-device environment.

See?  Itchy.
