Stabilizing the master branch is active development as this allows to have

That's the way linux, u-boot & co are running and when the new merge window
opens several thousand of patches can be merged in a few days.

If we don't do that, the idea of stable release which implies detecting and 
fixing potential failures introduced by previous big changes will fail.
