With the amount of work (backports, feature requests etc.) required it was just unfeasible to fully and properly test and validate the releases on a monthly basis. You 'may' still be able to see an unofficial monthly engineering release at http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries, but obviously it'll be unsupported and can be buggy. That said, the GCC source release is still on a monthly schedule, and Linaro reserve the right to respin or to spin a monthly release (both prebuilt binary and sources) as 'latest' if we encounter a bug.
