The question is whether users want more rapid releases. Those working on GHC will use their own builds. Most users want something reasonably stable (in both the interface sense and the reliability sense) and therefore I suspect would stick with the releases. This leaves a relatively small number of potential users; namely those who want to play around with unreleased features yet aren't willing to do their own builds.
Btw, for those who are willing to use Ubuntu there's already GHC HEAD builds available in my PPA, and I can easily keep creating GHC 7.10.3 snapshots in the same style like I usually do shortly before a stable point-release.
