I'm also worried that this means more effort in determining when something is a bugfix (so push out quickly) vs major changes so test with websites etc...

True.

And "Release" is usually perceived and understood as a version of
software with significant changes from the previous version. The new
schedule based approach is fine, but they should not be calling it
"releases". It's rather a regular builds that address bugs and add
some new features.

I'm not sure i understand the "marketing" behind this approach.
