Major changes should happen immediately after a release, so that people working on trunk find all the bugs, and they don't end up in the release.  This doesn't usually happen, because people are "burnt out" after a release, and then procrastinate this sort of thing until they remember that there is a release coming, and maybe they should get their changes in...
