How is it harming the project? I suspect most of the people who are actually doing the heavy lifting of pushing Mesa's 3D support forward are concentrating on git master anyway. The release schedule doesn't matter for them, unless they are themselves directly involved in the release process or maybe if they're working for a distribution.
The only way it could be seriously harming the project was if it were turning away people who might be interested in joining and helping out. I doubt that this is the case.
Edit: Okay, so it may be bad press, and that shouldn't be entirely shrugged off. But still, you won't get your 3D features at a faster rate just because an arbitrary release schedule is enforced.
