We can make such releases. The 3.0 branch is or should be in a state of
perpetual release-readiness, and that's where an emergency release would
come from. (If necessary, a new branch could be created off 3.0.4 for a
3.0.4.1 release, as was done with the stillborn 2.95.2.1 release.)
In the days when RMS was GCC maintainer, new releases did happen a day of
previous ones (2.2.1); but it's been decided not to do so now "except
perhaps to fix packaging problems"
